  • 1 jalapeno, deseeded, diced finely
  • handful of fresh cilantro, chopped finely (about 3 tablespoons)
  • juice from 1 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste.

Instructions

  • Slice avocados in half, scoop each half into a mixing bowl, and discard pit and skins.
  • Mash avocados with potato masher or fork until desired "chunkiness".
  • Add remaining ingredients and stir gently to combine. Enjoy!

Notes

Keep a sheet of plastic wrap directly on guacamole to prevent oxidation (browning) and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Water may also be used in the place of plastic wrap (much like a butter bell).
