Easy 5 Ingredient Guacamole
A fresh and easy guacamole made with 5 simple ingredients and ready in 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- ½ small red onion, finely diced
- Juice of 1 small lime
- 1-2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon of the jalapeno brine
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
- 2 large ripe Hass avocados or 3 small
- Sea salt & black pepper, to taste
OPTIONAL ADD-INS
- 1 small tomato, deseeded and finely diced
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Combine red onion, lime juice, jalapeños, brine and coriander in a bowl.
- Slice the avocados in half and carefully remove the stones. Using a spoon, scoop the flesh into the bowl with the onion mixture. Using a fork, gently mash the avocado into the mixture until just combined. Add extra add-ins now if using.
- Season well with sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste. Serve with corn chips or as desired.
Notes
- Measurements: We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon = 5 ml, 1 tablespoon = 20 ml & 1 cup = 250 ml.
- Ripe Avocados: Use avocados that give slightly when pressed. This gives a smooth, creamy texture.
- Texture: Do not over mash. Keep the guacamole slightly chunky for the best result.
- Flavour balance: Taste as you go and adjust lime, salt, and jalapeños to suit your preference.
- Storage: Store in the fridge with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface and use within 1 to 2 days.
- Freezing: Freeze in an airtight bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge and stir before serving.
- Pickled jalapeños: Use any brand of pickled jalapeños. You can swap for 1 fresh jalapeño if preferred and use extra lime juice. Adjust the amount to suit your heat preference. The brine adds extra flavour, so include it if using jarred jalapeños.
