How to Make Guacamole at Home

Sharing is caring!

Few things are as satisfying as a fresh, homemade guacamole bursting with flavor. Whether you’re preparing it for a party, taco night, or just as a delicious snack, this simple recipe will have you making the perfect guacamole in no time.

Ingredients:

  • 4 ripe avocados
  • 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Hot sauce (to taste)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons minced Italian parsley or cilantro
  • 1/4 cup diced tomato

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Avocados – Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon or lime juice and gently toss to coat the avocado. This helps prevent browning and enhances the flavor.
  2. Season It – Add the salt, pepper, hot sauce, and minced garlic to the bowl. These ingredients provide the perfect balance of seasoning with a little kick.
  3. Mix It Up – Using a knife, cut the avocado into small cubes directly in the bowl. This method keeps a chunkier texture instead of a smooth mash, giving each bite a delicious contrast.
  4. Add Fresh Ingredients – Stir in the diced red onion, minced parsley or cilantro, and diced tomato. Gently toss everything together until evenly combined.
  5. Serve Immediately – Fresh guacamole is best enjoyed right away. Serve it with crispy tortilla chips, or use it as a topping for tacos, burritos, or as a side for any Mexican dish.

Pro Tips:

  • For an extra creamy texture, mash half of the avocado while keeping the other half cubed.
  • If you love spice, add finely diced jalapeños or extra hot sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent oxidation.

Enjoy your homemade guacamole!
