If you can only make a few simple dishes, this classic homemade guacamole needs to be one to keep in your back pocket.

Having guests over or going to a friend’s house? Making your own tacos for Taco Tuesday? Have old avocados laying around? Boom, guacamole. This pairs with any kind of margarita or my enchilada casserole.

This is the most simple and basic of guacamole recipes, no spice but a lot of flavor, all with simple ingredients.

I am all for big flavored guacamoles- poblano pineapple is one of my favorites, thank you, Aldi. But there’s always something to be said for the classics, and this is no exception.

Ingredients

  • 4 avocados
  • 2 roma tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion chopped
  • 1/4 c cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 c lime juice about 2 limes worth
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Scrape out the avocados into a large bowl. Add in the onions, tomatoes, garlic, lime juice, and cilantro
  • Mix everything together, mashing the avocados as you go. Continue to mix until the avocados are to the chunkiness of your liking
  • Serve with your favorite chips or on top of tacos or meal of choice

Notes

I slice the tomatoes in half and scrape out the seeds and extra juice before slicing them so that they are not as juicy and wet in the guacamole

Serve this classic homemade guacamole fresh and cold. It’s best the day it’s made before the avocados start to brown. Serve any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator, and stir before serving again.
