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
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
Reviews
Spicy indeed and delicious! This is one of the better guacamole’s I’ve made. I do think the tomato/avocado ratio is off. Next time I will only use two romas.
