Ingredients
-
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
-
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.
