Tomatoes: Choose Roma tomatoes which are less juicy. No one wants a watery guac.

Cilantro: One of my favorite herbs and a staple in Mexican cuisine.

Jalapeno: You can also use serrano pepper for a little extra heat.

Garlic: Some people like their guac with garlic, others like it without. I love just a little.

Lime: Freshly squeezed lime is a must. Don’t use jarred lime juice as the flavor is muted.

Salt: A pinch of flaky salt brings it all together.
