Classic Creamy Guacamole

1. Prepare Avocado

Begin by running a knife lengthwise through the middle of the avocado, then grasp each half and twist to separate them. Remove the pit by hacking the knife into it, giving it a twist, and pulling it away. Next, separate the peel from the avocado halves and place the avocado flesh in a medium-sized bowl.

2. Add Lime Juice

Drizzle the lime juice over the avocado to keep it from browning and add a fresh zing.

3. Add Onion, Salt, and Pepper

Sprinkle the minced onion, a pinch of kosher salt, and freshly cracked pepper on top.

4. Mash Mixture

Mash the mixture with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency, ensuring it’s creamy with small chunks for that perfect guacamole texture.

5. Add Optional Mix-ins

If you wish, add any optional mix-ins like chopped cilantro, tomato, ground cumin, jalapeño, or garlic to elevate the flavors.

6. Serve Immediately

Serve your guacamole immediately to enjoy its fresh and vibrant taste.
