Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces ripe avocados Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to pressure.
  • 1 medium lime (juiced) Fresh lime juice adds flavor and prevents browning.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
Variations
  • 1 piece jalapeño (diced) For a spicy kick.
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt For extra creaminess.
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped) For an herb boost.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut and scoop the avocados into a bowl, discarding the pits.
  2. Mash with a fork until you reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
  3. Squeeze in the lime juice and sprinkle the salt.
  4. Mix well and taste—adjust salt or lime if needed.
  5. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap (pressed directly onto the guacamole) to prevent browning.

Notes

Serve with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or as a topping for tacos. Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap touching the surface to minimize oxidation. Keeps for 1–2 days in the fridge.
