Instructions

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mortar.
Use a pestle to mash the avocados to your desired consistency. For a chunkier guacamole, mash lightly; for a smoother texture, mash more thoroughly.
Add the diced tomato, chopped spring onion, and finely chopped jalapeño to the mortar.
Drizzle in the lime juice, sprinkle in the salt, and pour in extra virgin olive oil. Mix everything together.
Taste your guacamole and adjust the seasoning if needed. You might want to add a bit more lime juice or salt depending on your preference.
Fill the avocado skin with the guacamole.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips.

Notes

Ripeness of Avocados: Use ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor. They should give slightly when you gently squeeze them but not be mushy.

Variety: Hass avocados are great for guacamole because they're creamy and flavorful.

Jalapeños: Remove the seeds and membranes if you want less heat.

Tasting and Adjusting: Always taste your guacamole after mixing. Adjust the seasoning, acidity, and texture to your liking. It should be creamy, salty, tangy, and slightly spicy.

Serving: For a fun presentation, serve the guacamole in the empty avocado skins. Serve right away for the freshest taste.

Storage: If you need to store guacamole, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to minimize browning. Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge and eat it within a day for the best results.

Customization: Feel free to add extra ingredients like cumin, diced red bell peppers, or a dash of hot sauce for more heat.
