🛒 Ingredients

  • 6 ripe Hass avocados
  • 3 limes, juiced
  • 1 white onion, finely diced
  • 3 jalapeños
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1 mango, diced
  • 1/2 habanero, minced
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, for roasting
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • sea salt to taste
  • tortilla chips to serve

👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1

    Classic: Mash 2 avocados with lime, diced onion, 1 jalapeño, tomato, cilantro, and salt.

  2. 2

    Smoky: Char 2 tomatoes, 1 jalapeño, and 2 garlic cloves directly over flame. Mash with 2 avocados and smoked paprika.

  3. 3

    Tropical: Fold diced mango and minced habanero into the remaining 2 mashed avocados with lime and cilantro.

  4. 4

    Taste each and adjust salt and acid.

  5. 5

    Press plastic wrap directly onto each guacamole surface to prevent browning.

  6. 6

    Serve all three with tortilla chips.

💡 Chef's Tips

  • A lime seed pit resting in the bowl does not prevent browning — plastic wrap against the surface does.
  • Season with salt last so you don't over-salt as other ingredients release water.
  • Use a fork, not a blender — texture is everything.
