Step by stepInstructions
- Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork, leaving it a little chunky.
- Fold in the tomato, onion, cilantro, and chile, if using.
- Add the lime juice and salt, and stir gently to combine.
- Taste and adjust the lime and salt; the guacamole should be bright and well seasoned.
- Serve immediately with tostadas, tortilla chips, or as a topping for Guatemalan tostadas.
💡 Chef tips & storage
Keep the avocado chunks — smooth, pureed guacamole is not the Guatemalan way. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate to slow browning.
