Authentic Mexican Guacamole
This authentic Mexican guacamole is made the traditional way—fresh, chunky, and bursting with flavor. With ripe Hass avocados, tangy lime, crisp onion, juicy tomato, and fragrant cilantro, it’s the perfect dip or topping for any Mexican dish. Add jalapeño if you like a little heat!
Ingredients
5 large Hass avocados (black and slightly soft to the touch)
Juice of 2 large limes
1 medium white onion, finely diced
3/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 large tomato, diced (firm, not overly ripe)
Salt, to taste
Finely chopped fresh jalapeño (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Avocados
Cut the avocados in half and remove the seeds.
Scoop the flesh into a large bowl using a spoon.
Step 2: Prevent Browning
Immediately add the juice of one lime to the avocado.
Use a fork to mash the avocados to your desired texture—chunky or smooth.
Step 3: Add Fresh Ingredients
Gently mix in the diced onion, tomato, and chopped cilantro.
Step 4: Final Seasoning
Add the juice of the second lime, then season with salt to taste.
If using, stir in finely chopped jalapeño for a spicy kick.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, grilled meats, or any favorite Mexican dish.

- Pro Tip
For a super creamy version, you can blend all ingredients in a food processor—but traditional guacamole is best left chunky for a fresh, rustic texture.
