This is hands down the best guacamole recipe out there. Easy to make, with just 6 ingredients, this authentic guacamole is perfectly creamy, loaded with refreshing flavors, and always a hit at parties. Your favorite snack or appetizer is just at reach!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 small jalapeño, thinly diced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • A pinch of ground cumin (optional)*
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Mash the avocado with a fork and make it as chunky as you like, to give some texture.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and stir together. Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed, using more salt or lime juice to boost flavors. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, and enjoy!

Notes

Tip: this guacamole is best just before serving, as it prevents the oxidation process (i.e. the avocadoes turning brown when exposed to the air for too long).

* I like to add a pinch of ground cumin, or instead of ground coriander to my guacamole. It gives it an extra touch that is super delicious! If you like the refreshing flavors from the lime, consider adding the zest of one lime too.
