Simple Guacamole
A simple 5-minute guacamole that's perfect for tacos with lots of flavor. Feel free to jazz it up more if you'd like with a diced jalapeño, diced red onion, or chopped tomatoes.
Servings: 8 (1.5 cups / 320g)
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados (~ 15 oz / 420g total)
- 1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, more as desired
- 2 cloves garlic, grated (or crushed with a press)
- ½ cup (8g) cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- Kosher salt or sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl; keep one avocado pit for storage.
- Squeeze the lime juice on top of the avocado flesh. Add the garlic, cilantro, and cumin. Mash everything up with a fork until smooth but there are still some rough avocado chunks. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Store leftover guacamole in an airtight container with the avocado pit on top. Seal and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
