MAKES APPROXIMATELY 2 CUPS
3 avocados
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
½ small red onion, minced
1 handful cilantro, chopped
Juice of one lime
Kosher salt
Black pepper, freshly ground
Tortilla or pita chips, for dipping
Into a medium bowl, scoop out avocados and mash with a fork. Mix in jalapeno pepper, red onion, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with pita or tortilla chips.
If not serving immediately, cover with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap is pressed down onto the surface of the avocado mixture. This will prevent the guacamole from turning brown on top.
Chef’s Tip
When working with peeled, sliced and/or chopped avocados, squeeze in lemon or lime juice to prevent browning.
