Guacamole

Make fresh Guacamole in 10 minutes: creamy, chunky, and bright with lime. Perfect for chips or tacos.

Ingredients

• 3 avocados
• 1/2 cup red onion (diced)
• 2 Roma tomatoes (diced)
• 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
• 1 jalapeno (diced)
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• juice of one lime

Instructions

Step 1: Halve, pit and prep the produce

Halve and pit the avocados, scoop the vibrant green flesh into a medium mixing bowl, then dice the Roma tomatoes, finely dice the red onion and jalapeño, and roughly chop the cilantro. Keep the lime halved and ready; place the cumin, salt and pepper in tiny ramekins or a small spoon so everything is reachable. Work confidently but gently so the avocado flesh stays creamy rather than turning mushy.

Step 2: Combine and mash to chunky creaminess

Add the diced tomato, red onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, cumin, salt and pepper into the bowl with the scooped avocado. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture, then use a fork or a small masher to press and fold the ingredients together until you reach a slightly chunky, cohesive guacamole — creamy avocado with visible tomato and onion pieces, flecks of cilantro, and little pepper specks throughout. Adjust texture by mashing more or less, tasting and nudging the seasoning if needed.

Step 3: Taste and fine-tune seasoning

Spoon a small amount onto a tasting chip or spoon, check seasoning and lime brightness, and add a pinch more salt or a touch more cumin if the flavors need balancing. This small adjustment is what lifts the guacamole from good to great, so take a friendly, attentive taste and tweak until it sings.

Step 4: Serve, garnish and arrange crisps

Spoon the finished guacamole into a shallow matte ceramic serving bowl, smoothing the top slightly while leaving rustic peaks and valleys for visual texture; garnish with a small cilantro sprig and a thin lime wedge on the rim. Arrange golden tortilla chips leaning around the bowl, keep a wooden spoon or the same fork/masher used earlier resting casually on the rim, and present on the Luna Pearl granite surface for a fresh, inviting finish.

Notes

• Press plastic wrap onto the surface to limit browning.
• Taste and adjust salt and lime gradually.
• Keep avocado texture chunky for best mouthfeel.
• Roast jalapeno for a smoky variation.
• Serve within 24 to 48 hours for best color and flavor.
