Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup diced jicama
- 1/2 cup diced pineapple
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, minced
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocados until they reach a slightly chunky consistency.
- Peel the jicama and dice it into small, uniform 1/4-inch cubes. Ensure the pieces are crisp and fresh.
- Prepare the pineapple by removing the outer skin and core, then dice into small, similar-sized pieces as the jicama.
- Finely mince the jalapeño pepper, removing seeds if you prefer less heat. Be cautious and wear gloves when handling hot peppers.
- Chop the fresh cilantro leaves, discarding the tough stems.
- Add the diced jicama, pineapple, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro to the mashed avocados.
- Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the mixture to add brightness and prevent browning of the avocados.
- Gently fold all ingredients together, being careful not to overmix and maintain some texture.
- Season with salt to taste, adjusting the amount gradually and mixing thoroughly.
- Cover the guacamole and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld together before serving.
- Serve chilled with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or as a fresh accompaniment to grilled meats.
Tips
- Choose perfectly ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the best texture.
- Wear disposable gloves when chopping jalapeños to prevent skin irritation and potential eye contact.
- For a milder version, remove the jalapeño seeds and membranes to reduce heat.
- Use fresh lime juice for the brightest, most vibrant flavor.
- Dice jicama and pineapple into uniform small cubes for consistent texture and even flavor distribution.
- Prepare this guacamole just before serving to maintain maximum freshness and prevent browning.
- If not serving immediately, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to minimize oxidation.
- For extra heat, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or keeping some jalapeño seeds in the mix.
