i’ve been making guacamole for more than 5 years now … the same recipe, over and over again, and we just can’t get enough. is that good!
this is one of those recipes that is so easy and simple to make that you think to yourself, “is that it?” and, “are these all the ingredients?” and, “why didn’t i think of this before?”
yes, this is that type of recipe. easy, easy, easy.
my husband wants me to make guacamole every week. i try to live up to that and wish we had an avocado farm because he will be the happiest person on earth. for now, let’s stay with the grocery store or costco.
our family knows we love guacamole so much that got us this awesome, funny and quirky bowl… it’s not guacamole, it’s holy guacamole, because it’s like a religion. haha. {just took this photos with my phone, hence the quality.}
here’s the how-to and a few other photos we took while making it. leave me a comment sharing what is that easy recipe you always count on and never disappoints!
set up your fresh ingredients and wash cilantro thoroughly.
be careful when cutting the avocados. i’ve cut myself a few times.
gorgeous, right?
i slice the avocado beforehand so it’s easy to scoop out and mash.
i find the red onion to work best with the rest of the flavors.
i do the majority of my prepping in the food processor. thanks mike for the awesome wedding gift!
start building your guacamole in a bowl.
we love spicy. so we leave the seeds and add a lot of it.
lime or “limon” like we say in spanish, adds the perfect finishing touch to this awesome appetizer.
jalapeño going in.
we absolutely love cilantro and add as much as possible. we cut it roughly but you can finely chop it which works perfectly fine, too.
add sea salt and mash with a masher or fork. you want all the ingredients to be well combined.

taste to see if it needs more lime and/or salt.
enjoy by itself, with anything, or with nachos and other mexican dishes.
