Ingredients (serves 4):
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch but not mushy.
- To dice the mango, cut off the two "cheeks" on either side of the pit, then score the flesh in a crosshatch pattern and scoop it out with a spoon.
- For a milder guacamole, use less jalapeño pepper or omit it altogether.
- To prevent the guacamole from turning brown, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and press the wrap directly onto the surface of the dip.
Instructions:
1. Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork or potato masher.
2. Add the diced mango, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, minced jalapeño pepper, and lime juice to the bowl. Mix well.
