Ingredients:
Diced red onion: I love the flavor of red onion in guac, but if you would like to make it a bit milder, just rinse and drain the chopped onion in water briefly before adding it to the avocados.
Cilantro: If you happen to be part of the 14% of the population that doesn’t like fresh cilantro, just skip it.
Jalapeño: Or you can use serrano pepper instead.
Lime juice: Freshly-squeezed, please!
Fine sea salt: A critical ingredient to bring out all of those good flavors!
Ground cumin: I’ve always added a dash to my homemade guacamole, and I’m convinced it’s the secret ingredient that rounds out all of those flavors and makes people love it so much.
Diced tomatoes: I’m not a big fan of tomatoes in my guac, but feel free to add them if you would like!



Recipe:
Mash your avocados: Add them to a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork or spoon until they reach your desired consistency. (I like mine slightly chunky, not completely smooth.)

Mix in the remaining ingredients: Add in the onion, cilantro, jalapeño (or serrano), lime juice, salt, cumin, and tomatoes (if using) and stir until combined.

Taste and season: Give the mixture a taste, and season with extra salt if needed. Or…
For a tangier guac, add more lime juice.
For a spicier guac, add in another jalapeño or serrano. (Or you can include the seeds for extra heat.)
For a herbier guac, add in extra fresh cilantro.

Then serve it up and enjoy!!
