Easy Guacamole

Easy Guacamole recipe. Made with simple ingredients, this dip makes a great appetizer and pairs perfectly with salsa.

I know I'm not the only one who will pay extra for guac. It is my favorite dip, and I can't go to a restaurant or have taco nights without it.

But now that I know that it's so easy to make, I'm almost debating whether or not I should put some in a tupperware container and bring it everywhere I go. What do you think?

Also, I can't believe that I have made Spicy Guacamole but not plain and simple Easy Guacamole. 

This one is for people who can't handle the spice. Or like me, get heartburn at any food with a slight spice. Dang pregnancy giving me heartburn from eating anything these days. But this is the best guacamole recipe for me right now. Honestly, it is almost a restaurant-worthy guacamole dip. It is my favorite guacamole recipe that I have tried for a long time.

This goes well on top of nachos, burritos, ... heck, I've even put it on an omelette. But however you enjoy it, this simple recipe won't do you wrong.

Easy Guacamole Ingredients

This simple guacamole recipe is made 

• ripe avocados
• fresh lime juice or lemon juice
• sea salt
• white onion
• fresh cilantro
• garlic
• cayenne pepper
• ground cumin

Tips

Storage: the best way to store leftover guacamole to slow down the browning process is to store in an airtight container with a thin layer of water on top. For best results, press down the guacamole to remove any air pockets, then cover the surface of the guacamole with a little bit of lukewarm or cold water. While it won't stay the same bright green as when you first made it, it will look a lot less brown than if you were to store it regularly in a container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Don't have a good ripe avocado? My favorite way to speed up the ripening process is by using a brown paper bag and a banana. Just place your avocado and the banana in the bag, close the bag, then check on it in the morning. You should have a perfectly ripe avocado!

Add in some extra spice. To give this homemade guacamole recipe an extra kick, try adding in some chili peppers, or a chopped jalapeño pepper. If you wanted it to be just slightly hotter, try some green chiles, a milk hot sauce or some black pepper.

Mashing the avocado. ​I love using a potato masher so that you can still get some chunky avocado in the guacamole. If you wanted it to be more smooth, place it in a blender or food processor.
