The Best Ever Guacamole
You can create this deliciously simple guacamole in about 5 minutes.
Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
- Medium sized bowl
- Sharp knife
- Potato masher, or two forks or knives
Ingredients
- 3 large Hass avocados
- 2 tbsp Lime juice I used the juice from two limes.
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/4 piece White onion, minced I used one white bulb onion. (See video.)
- 1 Serrano pepper, minced I removed the seeds and membrane for less spice.
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 Plum tomato, optional If you add a tomato, you will need to seed it and dice it.
- 1/4-1/2 cup Cilantro, optional If you use cilantro, you will want to either rough chop it or finely chop it depending on the texture of your guacamole.
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit.
- Remove each half of avocado from its skin and transfer to a medium-sized bowl.
- Pour the lime juice and salt over the avocado and mash the mixture to the consistency of your liking. (See the recipe video for the consistency I use.) Be sure to avoid over mashing the avocado to the consistency of baby food. You want the guacamole to have some texture to it.
- Once you reach the mashed consistency of your liking, add the onion, pepper, and garlic to the avocado mixture and stir until the additions are completely combined.
- Transfer the guacamole to a bowl and serve with tortilla chips.
- If you are making the guacamole in advance, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, first, press a piece of plastic wrap on top of the guacamole to prevent browning.
- When sealed well, your guacamole will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 3-4 months.

As I describe in the recipe post and video, adding tomatoes or cilantro to guacamole can be controversial, but feel free to make your guacamole however you'd enjoy it.
