- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
Flavor Enhancers:
- 12 jalapeños, finely chopped (seeded for less heat)
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) lime juice
Instructions
- Halve ripe avocados and extract the pits, carefully scooping the creamy flesh into a spacious mixing vessel.
- Crush the avocado pulp with a fork, maintaining a rustic, textured consistency or smoothing to your preferred level of chunkiness.

- Thoroughly blend the ingredients, ensuring an even distribution of each component throughout the guacamole mixture.
- Sample the dip, calibrating the seasoning by adjusting lime intensity, salt level, or pepper heat to match your palate’s preference.

Notes
- Opt for ripe, slightly soft avocados that yield gently when pressed to ensure creamy, smooth guacamole.
- Choose fresh ingredients like crisp red onions and juicy tomatoes to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Keep the avocado pit in the guacamole to prevent browning if not serving immediately, or cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to minimize oxidation.
- Customize heat levels by adjusting jalapeño quantities or removing seeds for milder versions, making it suitable for different spice tolerances.
