Instructions

Cut 2 ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mortar or medium bowl. Mash the avocado with a pestle or fork until you reach your preferred texture, keeping it slightly chunky or smoothing it out more if preferred.
Add 1 diced medium tomato, 1 chopped spring onion, and 1 finely chopped jalapeño chili to the mashed avocado. Pour in the juice of ½ lime, add 1 teaspoon salt, and drizzle with 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil.
Mix everything together until well combined, then taste and adjust with extra lime juice or salt if needed.
Spoon the guacamole back into the avocado skins for serving if desired, and serve immediately with tortilla chips.

Notes

Leave Some Texture: I like leaving a few avocado chunks in the guacamole because it gives the dip a fresher and more homemade texture.

Finely Chop the Jalapeño: Finely chopping the jalapeño helps the heat spread evenly through the guacamole without overpowering each bite.

Add Lime Juice Early: I usually mix in the lime juice right after mashing the avocado because it keeps the flavor bright and helps slow browning.

Best Served Fresh: This guacamole tastes best right after making it, but I sometimes press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating leftovers.
