INGREDIENTS:

• 2 Haas avocados, ripe
• 1/4 red onion, diced
• 1 jalapeño, diced
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
• Sea salt, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Slice the avocados in half and remove the pits. Spoon the avocado meat into a bowl.
2. Dice the red onion and jalapeño, ensuring to remove the seeds for a milder flavor.
3. Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired consistency. If you prefer a chunky guacamole, leave some larger pieces.
4. Add the diced red onion, jalapeño, and fresh lime juice to the mashed avocado.
5. Season the guacamole with sea salt to taste. Start with a pinch and adjust according to your preference.
6. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
7. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more lime juice or salt if needed.
8. Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:

• To make the guacamole spicier, you can leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add additional diced jalapeño.
• For a smoother guacamole, you can use a blender or food processor instead of mashing by hand. However, be careful not to over-process, as you want to maintain some texture.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, you can soak the diced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the guacamole. This helps to reduce the sharpness of the onion.

TIPS:

• Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch, but not overly mushy.
• For added flavor, consider adding fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, or minced garlic to the guacamole.
• To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate until ready to serve.
