Amazing homemade guacamole that's super easy to make, but has all of the authentic flavors of Mexico. Great for tacos, nachos, or just as an appetizer.

Guacamole

 

It's only right to roll out this AMAZING homemade guacamole! This guacamole is perfect because of the robust flavors of the cilantro, the hint of spice from the jalapeno, and my favorite addition, the garlic powder!

It is super simple to make, and is the greatest addition to taco night, nachos, or even just a dip for some warm tortilla chips. The best part about guacamole is that it is a very healthy and delicious treat.

Guacamole

Do you know a trick to selecting a perfectly ripe avocado?

Take off the little brown stub at the tip of the avocado. If it is green underneath that "stub," the avocado is ripe. Sometimes you will see brown under there, that means the avocado will go bad a lot quicker because it is too ripe.

Amazing homemade guacamole

Amazing homemade guacamole could not be any easier to make. Get the ripe avocados, mash them to desired texture, and add in your additional veggies and seasoning.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe Avocados mashed

  • 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice

Seasoning (to taste)

Notes

    This guac is so good and easy to make. We literally ate the entire bowl and had to make more to go with our portobello mushroom fajitas
