Instructions
- Begin by cutting the avocados in half and removing the pits. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
- Mash the avocados with a fork until you reach your desired level of creaminess (smooth or chunky).
- Add the diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, and garlic powder to the bowl.
- Gently mix all the ingredients until well combined, being careful not to over-mash the tomatoes to maintain their freshness.
- Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
- Serve immediately with crispy tortilla chips. If preparing ahead of time, cover the guacamole with plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent browning.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a diced jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Try incorporating diced mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.
- For a creamier texture, mix in a couple of tablespoons of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
