Fresh guacamole made with ripe avocados, lime juice, cilantro, scallions, and jalapeño creates the perfect creamy dip for tortilla chips, tacos, burrito bowls, fajitas, and more.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium avocados, diced (enough to equal 2 cups)
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon jalapeño, minced
  • 1/2 cup scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, jalapeño, and scallions. Let the mixture sit while you prepare the avocados.
  2. Slice the avocados in half and remove the pits. Without piercing the skin, use the tip of a knife to score the flesh into small cubes. Scoop the avocado into a medium bowl. 
  3. Add the lime mixture, ground cumin, garlic powder, and kosher salt to the avocados. Mash with a fork until the guacamole reaches your desired consistency.
  4. Gently fold in the cilantro along with any reserved diced avocado. Taste and season with additional kosher salt, if needed.
  5. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or for the best flavor, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. To store, transfer the guacamole to an airtight container and use a spatula to press it into an even layer, eliminating any air pockets. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before sealing the container with a tight-fitting lid to help prevent browning.

Notes

  • If you prefer a chunkier guacamole, reserve some of the diced avocado to fold in at the end.
