Where are all of my guac lovers at!? This super simple and easy homemade guacamole is thee absolute best dip for any party! It's perfect for all to enjoy whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free - this dip will give you all of that good fat your body loves and satisfy every savory craving! Plus, it only take 10 minutes to make!
Do you love guacamole? Don't you think it's the best thing ever? I do! I think it's the absolute best way to get all those delicious and healthy fats into your diet. Who could resist?
I have been making this simple guacamole for years and it never disappoints! It is really quick to make and so easy to customize too. It has a refreshing and tangy taste to it that everybody loves!
You can also spice up your homemade guac with so many different things that go well together. You can add corn or even mango if you want some sweetness. You can even add some seasoning like chili powder or cumin if you want to give it more authentic flavors!
In less than 10 minutes, you'll have the yummiest avocado dip around. I recommend serving it with fresh tortilla chips, as a filling for tacos and burritos, or as a topping for your favorite salads. It seriously goes great with whatever you're having for lunch or dinner.
Total Time
- Preparation time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- Avocado
- Tomato
- Red onion
- Lime
- Serrano or jalapeño pepper
- Cilantro
- Salt
- Garlic powder
How to make easy homemade guacamole
- Slice the avocados in half, remove the stone, and scoop into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork (or use a food processor) and make it as smooth as you like.
- Dice the tomatoes and red onions into small pieces and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
- Add the chopped veggies and herbs into your mixing bowl along with the lime juice and seasonings. Mix until evenly combined.
- Serve with a side of fresh tortilla chips or along with your favorite meals! Enjoy!
Tips For Success
- I find that using a fork to mash up the avocado is all you need for this easy guac recipe. I don't mind little avocado chunks in mine, but if you want a smoother guacamole (like a puree) then feel free to use a food processor or blender.
- For a spicy guacamole, use Serrano peppers and keep some of the seeds in there. That will give you that good burn!
- If you don't like spice, omit the chili peppers and use a green bell pepper instead to keep the texture.
- Love everything super garlicky? Add ½ teaspoon of garlic powder along with the fresh minced garlic.
- For a creamier guacamole, add in one or two tablespoons of sour cream!
Storage
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Guacamole is going to brown a little due to oxidation. I find that squeezing some lime juice over the top before putting the lid on and sticking it in the fridge will help slow the process.
- When you're ready to eat again, just drain out the liquid and scoop off the parts that have browned.
Equipment
- Chopping board
- Kitchen knife
- Mixing bowl
- Fork (or food processor if you really want more parts to clean, lol!)

Thank you! This was the perfect recipe for a housewarming party I went to this weekend. So easy!
Choclette
Absolutely adore homemade guacamole and yours sounds just perfect. I like my guacamole slightly chunky and mashing it with a fork is the best way to do it. One of the reasons I can't stand commercial guac, is that it's a super smooth purée and you somehow lose the flavour.
Natalie
Wonderful recipe. The flavors are amazing. I will definitely make this again.
Julia Y
This is a perfect recipe. We tried this guacamole recipe with lunch today and it was full of flavour with a nice bit of heat from the jalapeno. I think this is going to turn up more often in out house.

I loved this recipe! We eat guacamole often as it's so good for but I think this is now going to be my most favourite version. It's great to scoop on toasted tortilla chips and we sometimes use it as a base for wraps instead of mayonnaise. Great taste!
