Homemade Guacamole Recipe
Want to know how to make guacamole? This easy guacamole recipe, made with Haas avocados, red onion, cilantro, and lots of lime juice, is always on rotation in my house. I add a little fresh garlic as my secret ingredient for some extra zing. It’s the BEST! This guac is a staple at every gathering and a must when we have taco nights. Tommy is always in charge of making it, and he has converted many non-avocado lovers with this recipe. Another favorite is this Crab Guacamole.
Ingredients
Avocados: Avocado flesh from ripe medium Haas avocados Lime: Juice one lime Red Onion: Mince a third cup of red onion Garlic: Mash one small garlic clove Cilantro: If you don’t like cilantro, omit it Salt and Pepper to taste Tomato and Jalapeño: Although we usually prefer our guacamole without tomato and jalapeño, you can add it if you desire. Use serrano pepper to make it extra spicy.

Tips For Making Guacamole Ahead:
Guacamole really is best when made fresh. But, if need to make it a little ahead of time, put the pits in the bowl with it, along with some cut up lime wedges and cover it tightly with plastic wrap on the surface of the guacamole. Place in refrigerator a few hours until ready to eat. Adding extra lime juice help prevent browning. I recommend making it the same day, but if you must this should keep 1 day. If the top browns, scrape the top off and the rest should be green. Refrigerate leftovers up to 24 hours.
What to serve with Guacamole
Guacamole dip is great with baked tortilla chips, lentil chips, or Air Fryer Tostones. I like it on top of nachos, chicken fajitas, tacos, or tostadas. You can also spread it on a wrap, sandwich, or turkey burgers instead of mayonnaise.
