Homemade Guacamole Flavorful Dip (Print Version)

Creamy guacamole with lime and fresh ingredients, perfect for any occasion.

# Ingredients:

01 - 3 ripe avocados
02 - 1-2 jalapeños, finely diced
03 - ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
04 - 2 medium tomatoes, diced
05 - ½ red onion, finely chopped
06 - Juice of 1-2 limes
07 - Salt and pepper to taste
08 - ½ teaspoon paprika
09 - ¼ teaspoon red pepper chili flakes

# Steps:

01 - Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
02 - Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher until you reach your desired consistency—either chunky or smooth.
03 - Add the diced tomatoes and finely chopped red onion to the mashed avocados.
04 - Mix in diced jalapeños, salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper chili flakes. Adjust seasoning to personal taste.
05 - Fold in the chopped cilantro and squeeze in the juice of 1-2 limes. Lime juice adds flavor and prevents the avocados from browning.
06 - Gently fold all ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning or lime juice if necessary.
07 - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring it directly contacts the guacamole to minimize browning, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
08 - Before serving, stir the guacamole and garnish with extra cilantro or a slice of lime.

# Notes and Tips:

01 - Lime juice helps preserve the color of guacamole by preventing oxidation.
