Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 3 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

  • lemon, juiced

  • 3 Roma tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped

  • 4 scallions, white parts only, thinly sliced

  • 3 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Add avocados and lemon juice to a medium mixing bowl; mash until desired consistency is almost reached. Stir in tomatoes, scallions, jalapeno peppers, garlic, cilantro, salt, red pepper flakes, pepper, and cayenne. Taste guacamole and adjust for seasoning.

Cook’s Notes:

Lemon juice not only adds flavor, but the acid keeps the avocado from oxidizing. Limes can be used in place of the lemon at a ratio of 2 limes to 1 lemon.

When preparing the jalapenos, discard seeds for a more mellow dip or keep them in for an extra kick.
