Instructions
To begin, prep all of your ingredients as directed above. Note that if you want the guacamole to be less spicy, remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapeño before dicing it.
For the avocados, cut them in half and remove the pits. From here I like to cut the avocado while it's still in its skin, then scoop it out with a spoon. This helps it mash more evenly. However, you can skip this step if you'd like.
Mash the avocado using a potato masher, a large fork, or a mortar and pestle. I like to leave my avocado a little chunky.
Add in the lime juice, and stir well (this helps the avocado from browning).
Then, add in the rest of the ingredients, and mix well. Taste, and adjust seasonings to your preference.
Enjoy!
Notes
This guacamole will keep in the fridge, directly covered with plastic wrap so that it does not come into contact with the air, for about 1-2 days.
For a spicier guacamole, use serrano peppers instead of jalapeños. For a milder guacamole, use green bell pepper instead.
