Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Add the freshly squeezed lime juice to the bowl. Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocados until you reach your desired consistency - smooth or chunky.
- Gently fold in the diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and salt. Mix until well combined, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Taste the guacamole and adjust the salt or lime juice as needed, adding more to suit your preference.
- Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and serve immediately with crispy totopos for dipping.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add finely chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the guacamole.
- If you like a smoother guacamole, blend all ingredients in a food processor instead of mashing by hand.
- To keep the guacamole from browning, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating.
