Guacamole Ingredients

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup diced yellow onion (red onion works too)

  3. Adjust Flavor: Taste the guacamole and adjust the salt, lime juice, or cilantro according to your preference for the best flavor.

Notes

  • Nutrition information does not include tortilla chips.
  • Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.

  • This guacamole is best served fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day to minimize browning.
  • Use a fork for mashing to control the texture, avoiding over-pureeing.
