The Absolute Best Guacamole Recipe

I’m not going to lie, we hit it out of the park with this guac recipe! It’s is by far the absolute best guacamole recipe I’ve ever tasted. The key is cutting all of the elements in small uniform pieces, so you get a ton of flavor in every bite. 

Why You’ll Love This Guacamole

This guacamole is creamy, flavorful, and incredibly simple to make. With just a handful of fresh ingredients, you can whip up a dip that’s perfect for tacos, burritos, grain bowls, or simply scooping up with crunchy tortilla chips. Plus, it’s naturally vegan, gluten-free, and packed with healthy fats!

The Secret to the Best Guacamole

The best guacamole is all about balance. Here’s what makes this recipe stand out:

  • Perfectly ripe avocados – Soft but not mushy, with a deep green color inside.
  • Fresh lime juice – Adds brightness and keeps the guacamole vibrant.
  • Red onion & garlic – A bit of bite for depth of flavor.
  • Tomatoes & cilantro – Freshness in every bite.
  • A little spice – Jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne for those who love heat!

How to Pick the Best Avocados

You want avocados that yield slightly when pressed but aren’t overly soft. If they’re underripe, let them sit at room temperature for a day or two. A pro tip? If the stem nub at the top pops off easily and reveals green underneath, it’s ready to go!

Serving Ideas

Guacamole isn’t just for chips! Try it:

  • On toast with chili flakes and hemp seeds.
  • In tacos or burritos as a creamy contrast to smoky fillings.
  • As a salad dressing mixed with a little water and olive oil.
  • With roasted veggies for an extra hit of flavor.
