Notes

Tips & Tricks:
  • Choose ripe avocados: They should give slightly when pressed but not feel mushy.
  • Keep it green: Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole if making ahead to prevent browning.
  • Customize the heat: Add finely chopped jalapeño or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Extra freshness: Stir in chopped fresh cilantro just before serving.
  • Serving ideas: Perfect with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or spread on toast.
Simple, fresh, and endlessly adaptable, this easy guacamole is a go-to every time.
