The most amazing and buttery avocados team up with the perfect ratio of tomatoes, limes, cilantro, onions, garlic, and jalapenos! Grab your favorite brand of tortilla chips and dive in. This recipe makes the most delicious Cinco de mayo condiment.

Not only is guacamole delicious on tortilla chips, but a great dipper for veggies. When I am on a round of Whole30, veggie sticks and guacamole are my go-to lunch snack. This is the best freshly made guacamole loaded with heart-healthy fats.

Picking the right avocado is crucial. A ripe avocado is your best choice. If the fruit is too hard, achieving that creamy texture is downright impossible.

What you need to make this recipe

• Avocados - Select ripe avocados to achieve a nice creamy dip! I like the variety of Haas for their easy-to-peel skin.
• Cilantro - A prevalent herb in Mexican cuisine
• Onion - You can use red or white onion. White onion is traditionally used in guacamole.
• Garlic - Make sure you use fresh garlic. Garlic powder has its place in cooking, just not in guacamole.
• Limes - Gives life to the avocados. Select limes that are nice and juicy.
• Jalapeno - Proceed with caution. Some jalapenos are spicier than others.
• Tomato - Make sure to buy Roma tomatoes, because they are less juicier than beefsteak tomatoes. You don't want a watery dip.
• Salt

Pro tips

• Pick ripe avocados. When selecting, make sure the stem is intact. If the stem is removed, the faster the avocado will turn. Using your thumb, gently press the skin to see if it has any give. The perfect avocado will have a slight give to it.
• Safety first when cutting avocados. Place on a cutting board, and with a knife slice in half until you reach the seed. Rotate the knife around the seed, with the avocado still on the cutting board. Twist the avocado to divide in half, and remove the seed with the edge of your knife.
• Massage the limes. Roll the limes on your cutting board to release the juices. This will not only produce more lime juice but also makes it a lot easier to squeeze.
• Embrace the small dice. Finely dice the onions and garlic. The vegetables should flavor and disappear into the guacamole, not give you an unpleasant surprise.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stop it from turning brown?

When guacamole turns brown, it's caused by oxidation. The acidity from the lime juice helps, but your best is to lay plastic wrap directly on top of the guacamole. Stopping air from oxidizing your dip.

How to speed up the ripening process of avocados?

Place your avocados into a brown paper bag with an apple or banana. These fruit release a hormone that helps ripen avocados.

Is avocado spread and guacamole the same things?

Nope. Avocado spread is blended avocados, nothing more. Guacamole has yummy components like garlic, onion, lime juice, tomatoes, jalapeños, and cilantro.

What goes with avocado?

This truly is a versatile dip. Taco's, burritos, deviled eggs, dressings, salads, and any breakfast. Avocado is a very mild flavor, so it takes on other ingredients beautifully.
