It’s simple and quick. This dip is ready in minutes, making it something we whip up frequently! Fresh ingredients. This best guacamole is packed with all of the best and simplest ingredients. Well rounded. Enjoy as a stand-alone dip, a flavorful topping for a variety of Mexican dishes, or a filling for Chicken Tacos or Bean Burritos. There’s never a bad time to make guac! It’s perfect for afternoon snacking, a Super Bowl or game day appetizer, a Cinco de Mayo fiesta with friends, or just a yummy Mexican side dish.
Simple Ingredients
avocados – The riper the avocado the better. Grab an avocado and squeeze gently. It should feel firm with a bit of softness. Ripen avocados in a paper bag on the counter. lime juice – use fresh lime juice or bottled. Use lemon juice in a pinch. kosher salt ground cumin cayenne pepper Roma tomatoes red onion – For a milder onion, briefly rinse it in water and drain it thoroughly before adding it to your avocados. fresh cilantro jalapeño pepper – for more spice, substitute with serrano pepper. minced garlic
How to Make Guacamole
Storing Info
Homemade guacamole usually lasts up to 2 days. When you see a puddle of brown liquid and the layers below the surface have lost their vibrant green color, you’ll know it’s gone bad. STORE. Scoop the guacamole recipe into a container, pat it down to make a flat surface, pour a layer of water or lime juice on top, then seal it with plastic wrap. Keep it in the fridge until ready to eat again. Pour out the water on top when you’re ready to start dipping. May seem strange, but it works! FREEZE. Freezing is not recommended – it will become grainy and dry when defrosted.
Mash up 2-3 avocados and add a bit of minced garlic, cumin, salt (coarse), lime juice, and chili powder. It’s more of a guac dip and is delicious!
