Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe avocados Look for dark green skin and slight give.
  • 1 piece lime, juiced To prevent browning and add brightness.
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1-2 pieces jalapeños, finely chopped Optional for heat.
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Tortilla shells (store-bought or homemade) For serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash them to your preferred texture—smooth or chunky.
  2. Squeeze the lime over the mashed avocados to prevent browning and add zing. Mix well.
  3. Stir in the chopped onion, diced tomatoes, jalapeños (if using), and cilantro. Season with salt to taste.
  4. Taste your guacamole and adjust seasoning or lime for balanced flavor.
Making Tortilla Shells
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Brush both sides of corn tortillas with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Serving
  1. Serve the guacamole at room temperature or slightly chilled in a vibrant bowl alongside the fresh tortilla shells.

Notes

To keep guacamole fresh, store it in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed against the surface. It lasts 2-3 days in the fridge or can be frozen for up to three months.
