Ingredients

3 large ripe avocados
2-3 tablespoons (30-45ml) fresh lime juice, about 1 lime
1-1½ teaspoons (5-8g) minced garlic (1-2 cloves)
1 tablespoon (15g) diced serrano pepper (adjust to preference)
½ teaspoon (1-2g) ground cumin
1 tablespoon (6g) chopped cilantro (adjust to taste with more or less)
salt and pepper to taste
⅓ cup (80g) diced tomatoes
⅓ cup (80g) diced red onion

Instructions

Cut the avocado in half lengthwise around the pit. Twist and separate the halves. Tap the pit with the sharp edge of a knife blade, twist the knife to remove the pit. Scoop the flesh out with a spoon into a bowl, and mash it with a fork until you have a smooth yet slightly chunky texture (how smooth or chunky is a personal choice).
Add the lime juice, then add garlic, serrano pepper, cumin, cilantro, salt, and pepper to taste.
Stir in diced tomato and onion. Cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to use. Adjust taste with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with tortilla chips or on tacos.

Notes

A mortar and pestle is ideal for mashing the avocados if you have one.
Finely dicing your garlic, onions, tomatoes, and hot peppers provides the best texture and taste experience.
Remove the seeds from the hot peppers for a milder guac.
Haas avocados make a creamier guac, while the larger variety stays chunkier. The best one is the one you like most.
