Chunky Guacamole
This guac hits the right balance - mashed enough to hold together but chunky enough that you get distinct bites of avocado, tomato, and onion. I always go heavy on the lime juice since it keeps everything bright and prevents browning.
Ingredients
Ingredients (~6 servings)
- 3 large ripe avocados preferably Haas
- 1 small yellow onion ~1/2 cup, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño pepper seeds and ribs removed, finely diced
- 1 medium tomato seeds removed and finely diced
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic minced or pressed
- 3 Tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 to 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice to taste
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 to 3/4 tsp kosher salt to taste
- 1/4 tsp ground chipotle pepper optional
Instructions
- Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a bowl.
- Mash with a fork until chunky but not smooth.
- Add onion, tomato, jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro to the bowl.
- Add 2 Tbsp lime juice, cumin, 1/2 tsp salt, and chipotle pepper if using.
- Gently fold everything together until just combined.
- Taste and adjust with additional salt and lime juice as needed.
- Serve immediately or cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Lime juice brightens flavor and slows browning.
