Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Yields: 4 servings

Ingredients:

2 ripe avocados (about 300g), pitted and peeled
1/4 cup (60g) finely chopped red onion
1 small tomato (about 150g), diced
1/4 cup (15g) fresh cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons (30ml) lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Ingredient Substitutions:

Red onion: If you prefer a milder flavor, substitute with finely chopped green onions or omit them altogether.
Tomato: You can use cherry tomatoes or Roma tomatoes depending on your preference and availability.
Jalapeno pepper: Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less jalapeno, or substitute with a milder pepper like poblano or bell pepper.

Instructions:

In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until desired consistency is reached (smooth or slightly chunky).
Add the chopped red onion, diced tomato, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocados.
Mix all the ingredients until well combined.
Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeno for an extra kick.
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, and fresh vegetables, or as a topping for tacos, nachos, or burritos.

Storage:

To store any leftover guacamole, transfer it to an airtight container and press a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent browning.

Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Note that the guacamole's appearance and flavor may change slightly upon storing, so it's best enjoyed fresh.

Successful Recipe Variations:

Citrus Twist: Add a squeeze of orange or grapefruit juice to the guacamole for a citrusy burst of flavor.
Smoky Delight: Incorporate a dash of smoked paprika or chipotle powder for a subtle smoky taste.
Tropical Fusion: Mix in diced pineapple or mango for a sweet and tangy twist.
