Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 2 medium Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 shallot or ½ small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium jalapeños or 1 poblano pepper, diced with seeds*
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- 2 limes (¼ cup), juiced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Cut avocados in half, remove the pit, and with a spoon, scoop out the avocado into a large bowl. With a fork, smash the avocado, leaving a few chunks for texture. You can make it as smooth or as chunky as you want.
- Cut the ends of the Roma tomatoes and slice them in half vertically. With a spoon, scoop out the seeds and pulp. Dice the tomatoes into small pieces and add them into the avocado bowl.
- Add the chopped shallot (or onion), chopped jalapeño, lime juice, salt, and cumin to the bowl. Gently mix ingredients and serve.
Notes
- Poblano peppers are spicier than jalapeños. Both will work to make spicy guacamole. You can keep or remove the seeds; keeping them in will make the guacamole spicier.
- While guac is best made on the spot, you can prepare it a couple of hours ahead. Cover it with plastic wrap, ensuring that the plastic touches the guacamole, and give it a quick mix before serving.
