Print Recipe

This chunky guacamole recipe celebrates big, satisfying pieces of avocado with fresh lime, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 1/2 medium red onion, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1–2 jalapeños, seeded and minced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 medium Roma tomato, seeded and diced (optional, about 1/4 cup)

Instructions

  1. Prep the aromatics: Finely dice the red onion and mince the jalapeño. Place them together in a small bowl and squeeze half the lime juice over them. Let them sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the avocado: Cut each avocado in half lengthwise around the pit. Twist the halves apart and remove the pit. Score the flesh in a grid pattern inside the skin, then scoop out the cubes with a spoon into your mixing bowl. You want nice, 1/2-inch chunks.
  3. Add the lime juice: Pour the remaining lime juice over the avocado chunks. Gently toss the avocado with the juice using your spoon.
  4. Add the onion and jalapeño mixture: Pour the soaked onion and jalapeño over the avocado, including any leftover lime juice. Sprinkle the kosher salt evenly over everything.
  5. Fold, don’t mash: Using a large spoon or rubber spatula, gently fold the ingredients together. Fold about 8-10 times, or until everything is just combined.
  6. Add cilantro and tomato (if using): Sprinkle the chopped cilantro and diced tomato over the top. Fold gently another 2-3 times to incorporate.
  7. Taste and adjust: Take a chip or a clean spoon and taste your guacamole. Adjust salt, lime, or jalapeño as needed.
  8. Serve immediately: Transfer to a serving bowl and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface if not serving right away.

Notes

For best texture, do not overmix. Use fresh lime juice only. If avocados are underripe, place in a paper bag with a banana or apple to ripen. Store leftovers with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface for up to 24 hours.
