Best Homemade Guacamole

Growing up in Malaysia, I didn't experience guacamole until after I moved to the United States. When I did finally try it, I fell in love. Not only is it yummy, but it's super healthy and easy to make at home.

My favorite recipe includes fresh avocado, onion, cilantro, garlic, lemon, and lime. To make it extra special, I like to add serrano and habanero peppers to bring out the spicy flavors.

Guacamole is often served as a dip with tortilla chips. However, there are a million other ways to enjoy it, as well. For instance, it's perfect on toast, burgers, tacos, and nachos. Personally, I love it on toast. Yummy!

I think guacamole is a perfect treat to share while hanging out with family or friends. Why not impress them with this tasty and healthy dip? You'll be amazed by how easy and delicious it is.

Let's see the full ingredients.

Ingredients

• 3 ripe avocados, pitted
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped red onion
• 1/3 cup chopped cilantro leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 6-7 small tomatoes, diced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 green serrano pepper, chopped (optional)
• 1 habanero pepper, chopped (optional)

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped onion, garlic, cilantro leaves, serrano, and habanero pepper.
2. Scoop the avocado with a large spoon and add it to the mixture.
3. Mash the avocados to your desired consistency by using a fork or potato masher.
4. Add the lime and lemon juice. Give the mixture a quick stir with a spoon.
5. Add the ground cayenne, salt, and pepper into the mixture. Check for taste.
6. Combine the diced tomatoes in the avocado and stir until it's well-combined.
7. Transfer the guacamole into a dipping bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips.
8. Enjoy!

Note: To store guacamole, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to two days before serving.

Hello Liza, your articles make me feel hungry! I will try some of the recipes at home.

Hi Thelma, you're welcome. I had my first guacamole after I moved to the US. Aah yea, perhaps you never tried it so, you don't know if you like it or not. I hope you will try the recipe. Thank you for commenting.

I have heard a lot about guacamole but I have not tried it yet though I love eating an avocado. There are ingredients in making guacamole that I don´t like maybe that is why I have not tried it, yet. I would love to try it but without onion and cilantro. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Store-bought guacamole is quite expensive here. We usually ended spending more than when we make guacamole at home. Yes, this homemade guacamole is one of the best, Linda. It's delicious and healthy too.

Linda Crampton from British Columbia, Canada on July 06, 2020:

I like the guacamole that I buy in stores. I'm sure I'd like your homemade version better. It looks very appetizing. Thanks for sharing the recipe, Liza.

I aware of avocado before moving here but, never really eat it. My husband introduced me to guacamole. So, now, I'm a huge fan of avocado :) My homemade guacamole is super easy and yes, it was delicious, Peggy. It was addicting :)

Liza (author) from USA on July 06, 2020:

Thank you, Danny. Guacamole is one of the best dips for chips and tasty spreads for toast! Maybe you should make it. No doubt, it was delicious and very healthy :)

Peggy Woods from Houston, Texas on July 06, 2020:

We love eating avocados and have some that are ripening right now. Your guacamole recipe sounds delicious. Sometimes I just mash the avocados and add Picante sauce to it for a quick version.

Danny from India on July 06, 2020:

Well presented Liza. I have never tried it, but the way you have displayed the ingredients looks tempting.
