  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • Optional: 1/2 jalapeño, finely minced

Instructions

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.

  • For a smoother guacamole, mash the avocados more thoroughly.
  • To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before storing.
