3 large ripe avocados, pitted and mashed
0.5 cup finely diced red onion
0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 medium jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional, for heat)
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
0.5 tsp salt, or to taste
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 bag gluten-free corn tortilla chips for serving Shop
Optional toppings diced tomatoes, crumbled cotija cheese, pico de gallo, salsa Shop

Instructions

1 In a medium bowl, add the mashed ripe avocados. Gently mash them with a fork until they reach your desired consistency, leaving some small chunks for texture. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
2 Add the finely diced red onion, chopped fresh cilantro, minced jalapeño (if using), and fresh lime juice to the bowl with the avocados. Stir everything together gently to combine all the ingredients.
3 Season the guacamole with salt and black pepper. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lime juice for a brighter flavor. This step should take about 1-2 minutes.
4 Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning. Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
5 Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and arrange it on your bar. Serve immediately with a generous portion of gluten-free corn tortilla chips and any desired optional toppings. This final presentation step takes about 2 minutes.
