3 large ripe avocados
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp ground cumin Shop
1 bag gluten-free corn tortilla chips Shop

Instructions

1 Halve the ripe avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl. Mash the avocado gently with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency, leaving some chunks for texture. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
2 Add the finely diced red onion, minced jalapeno, chopped fresh cilantro, and fresh lime juice to the bowl with the mashed avocado. Stir everything together until well combined, ensuring the flavors begin to meld.
3 Season the guacamole with salt and ground cumin, starting with the recommended amounts. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed, adding more salt or lime juice to achieve your perfect flavor balance. This step typically takes about 1-2 minutes.
4 Allow the guacamole to sit for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature before serving. This resting period allows the flavors to deepen and meld together beautifully, enhancing the overall taste experience.
5 Serve the freshly made guacamole immediately with a bag of gluten-free corn tortilla chips. The creamy guacamole and crunchy chips create a delightful contrast in textures and flavors.

Tips & Notes

Flick off the little stem cap to judge an avocado. Green underneath means ripe and ready; brown means it is past its best, and you may find dark streaks inside.
Mash the avocado and stir in the onion, jalapeno and lime before salting, then season in step 3. During the 15 to 20 minute rest the raw red onion mellows, so taste again just before serving.
Press plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole during the rest to limit browning. Choose corn tortilla chips labeled gluten-free, since some are seasoned or fried in shared oil.
