Ingredients

2 ripe avocados
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice about half a lime
1 small tomato diced
1 small garlic clove minced
1/4 teaspoon salt to taste

Equipment

Mixing bowl
Fork or potato masher
Knife
Chopping board
Measuring spoons (for lime juice and salt)

Method

Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher until smooth or chunky, depending on your preference.
Add Lime Juice and Garlic: Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and add the minced garlic to the mashed avocado. Stir well to combine.
Mix in Tomato and Salt: Add the diced tomato and salt to the avocado mixture. Gently stir to combine, being careful not to mash the tomato too much.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to your liking.
Serve: Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite dish. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: If you have leftovers, store the guacamole in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning. It can last up to 1-2 days in the refrigerator.
Customization: Feel free to add extra ingredients like diced red onion, chopped cilantro, or a bit of chili for spice. You can also experiment with textures, making it chunkier or smoother, depending on your preference.
Tip for Ripe Avocados: Ensure your avocados are ripe for the best texture. A ripe avocado will yield to gentle pressure but won’t feel mushy
