The Best Guacamole Recipe
Here's how you make the BEST Guacamole! The base is an authentic guacamole recipe loaded with avocados, lime juice, onions, cilantro, and peppers. I like to top my guacamole with pickled onions, roasted corn, and queso, but that's totally optional!
Ingredients
Instructions
TOSS: Add the scooped avocados to a bowl. Pour the lime juice over the avocados, toss to combine, and let sit for 5 minutes. Prep the onions, garlic, serrano, tomatoes, and cilantro while you wait.
SMASH: Using a fork, press and smash the avocados to your liking. Smash them completely smooth if you prefer smooth guacamole or leave it a bit chunky – it’s up to you! Season with salt and cumin.
GUACAMOLE: Add onions, garlic, serrano, tomatoes, cilantro, and fluff into the avocados with a fork without mashing them further. Taste the guacamole with a tortilla chip to make sure the guacamole is salted properly. Season with additional lime juice or salt as desired.
REST: For best results, allow the guacamole to sit for 1 hour, covered at room temperature before serving.
