Instructions

6 steps

1
Scoop Avocados: Using a spoon, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a large mixing bowl. Discard the skins and pits.

2
Mash: Add the kosher salt and fresh lime juice. Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the avocados. Leave some chunks for a satisfying texture.
3
Fold in Aromatics: Add the finely diced white onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro into the bowl.
4
Mix Gently: Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until evenly distributed, being careful not to overmix into a puree.
5
Taste and Adjust: Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning. Add a pinch more salt or an extra squeeze of lime juice if you prefer a more vibrant flavor.
6
Serve: Serve immediately alongside warm, crispy tortilla chips. If storing, press plastic wrap directly against the surface to prevent browning.
