Homemade Jalapeño Guacamole
Fresh and flavorful homemade guacamole that packs some heat 🔥
Equipment
- Potato Masher
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe hass avocado
- 1/2 teaspoon salt + more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 jalapeño seeds and stems removed and finely chopped
- 1 ripe medium sized tomato seeds removed and diced
- 1/4 cup red onion diced small
- 3 tablespoons lime juice from about 1 ½ limes, or more if needed
Instructions
- Remove the stone/seed from the avocado and using a spoon, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a shallow serving bowl, discarding any bruised, browned areas.
- Using a potato masher, or fork, mash up the avocado until it reaches the consistency you like (I like mine to have some lumps).
- Add all of the remaining ingredients to the avocado. Stir to combine.
- Taste and add additional salt (I often add up to ½ teaspoon more), until the flavors really pop. If it needs more zip, add a little more lime juice (or, if it tastes too limey already, don’t worry—it will mellow out after a brief rest).
- Serve and enjoy!!
