How to prepare

1
Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl and add the lime juice. Mash with a fork until mostly creamy but still visibly chunky, with pieces no larger than 1 cm.
2
Fold in the diced tomato, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro with a fork or spatula. Stir only until evenly distributed so the avocado retains texture.

3
Season with the salt and fold once more. Taste and adjust with a little more lime or salt if needed; the finished guacamole should taste fresh, savory, and lightly spicy.
4
Transfer to a serving bowl, smooth the surface lightly, and serve immediately with tortilla chips or vegetables. For the best texture, do not leave it uncovered at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

Why this recipe works

Ripe avocado provides richness, while lime, tomato, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño bring acidity, freshness, sweetness, and controlled heat. Keeping the mixture chunky preserves contrast in every bite.

Storage and reheating

How to store it

Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate for up to 1 day. The top may darken slightly; scrape away any oxidized surface before serving.

How to reheat it

Do not reheat. Serve chilled or let it stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes to soften.
