Servings: 4 - 6, or about 3 cups
Ingredients Instructions Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe avocados
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • ⅓ cup diced red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • juice of 1–2 limes, to taste
  • salt, garlic powder, and onion powder, to taste

Instructions
 

  1. Cut the 4 avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash to your preferred consistency—chunky or smooth.
  2. Add the 2 chopped tomatoes, ⅓ cup diced red onion, and ¼ cup chopped cilantro. Stir to combine.
  3. Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime to start, adding more to taste.
  4. Season with salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Start with about ½ teaspoon of each and adjust to your liking. (These seasonings not only add flavor, but also help preserve the guacamole’s bright color a bit longer.)
  5. Stir again and serve immediately, or cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed down onto the guacamole (with no air space) and refrigerate.

Notes

Try these optional add-ons (if you’re feeling fancy):
A minced jalapeño for some heat
A pinch of cumin for a slightly smoky edge
A finely minced clove of fresh garlic in addition to the garlic powder if you want a bolder garlic flavor
