Recipe

Guacamole is a classic Mexican dip made from ripe avocados, lime juice, and a blend of fresh ingredients. It’s creamy, tangy, and perfect for dipping or as a topping for tacos, nachos, and more.

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe avocados
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1-2 jalapeños, seeded and minced
• 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
2. Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on preference.
3. Add the lime juice, salt, cumin, and chili powder, and mix well.
4. Stir in the red onion, jalapeños, tomatoes, and cilantro until evenly combined.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes:

• For best results, use ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure.

What To Serve With It

I love pairing guacamole with crispy chips and salsa for a classic snack that’s always a hit. It’s also amazing spread on tacos or layered over nachos for a heartier dish. No matter how you serve it, guacamole always makes everything taste even better!

Chips and Salsa

When it comes to pairing guacamole, there’s nothing quite as classic as chips and salsa. I love experimenting with chip varieties, from crispy tortilla chips to baked pita chips, each adding a unique crunch. Salsa types also make a difference—whether it’s a tangy pico de gallo, a smoky chipotle, or a fruity mango salsa, they all complement the creamy guacamole perfectly. It’s a match made in snack heaven!

Tacos and Nachos

While chips and salsa are a go-to, tacos and nachos take guacamole to a whole new level. I love experimenting with taco variations, like grilled chicken or spicy shrimp, and topping them with a generous scoop of guacamole. For nachos, I pile on melted cheese, beans, and jalapeños, then finish with dollops of guacamole. It’s creamy, fresh, and makes every bite unforgettable. Trust me, you’ll want seconds!
