Ingredients
4 Ripe Avocados (Peeled and Diced into 1” Pieces)
1 Small Onion (Minced)
3-6 Garlic Cloves (Peeled & Minced)
1 Jalapeño Chile (Finely Minced)
-
1-2 tsp. Cumin, Ground
-
1 tsp. Cayenne Powder
-
1-2 tsp. Chile Powder, Medium
2-3 Tbsp. Cilantro (Stems Removed and Chopped)
2-3 Tbsp. Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
-
Peruvian Chile-Citrus Sea Salt (to Taste)
Directions
Combine avocado, onion, garlic, jalapeno [if desired], and spices in a bowl. Mash to desired consistency with a fork, pastry blender, or other “squishing implement.”
Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro. Pour lime juice over top of the mixture – this adds a delicious lime flavor to the guacamole, and also slows the inevitable dulling of the vibrant green color.
Garnish with a sprinkle of salt, adjusting amounts to taste.
Serve right away, with tortilla chips, or put a dollop on a freshly-grilled burger.
Recipe Note
Fleur de Sel or Coarse Sea Salt can be substituted for the Peruvian Chile-Citrus Sea Salt if you don't have it on hand.
