Knife
Cutting board
Spoon (for scooping avocado)

Ingredients

3 ripe avocados
1 lime, juiced
1 small tomato, finely diced

Instructions

Prep the Avocados
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork—leave some chunks for texture.
Add Lime Juice
Squeeze in the juice of half a lime. Taste, and add more if you like it zingier. This keeps the guac fresh and bright.
Mix in the Rest
Add diced tomato, minced red onion, garlic, and cilantro (if using). Stir gently to combine.
Season It
Sprinkle in a pinch of salt, taste, and adjust as needed. Toss in jalapeño for a spicy kick if desired.
Serve Immediately

Notes

Cooking Tips

Avocados: Press near the stem—if it gives slightly, it’s ripe. Avoid squishy or rock-hard ones.
Lime: Start small; too much can overpower.
Texture: Don’t mash it smooth—some chunk makes it feel homemade.
Salt Smart: Add in stages. Guac doesn’t forgive over-salting.
Spice It Up: Jalapeños bring heat—remove seeds for milder flavor.
