Homemade Guacamole
The best Homemade Guacamole recipe is on the chunky side with a few fresh ingredients like tomatoes, jalapeno, onions, lime, and cilantro. I could eat authentic guacamole every day of my life and it’s easier to make than you think! This Mexican dip recipe is similar to the Chipotle guacamole recipe.
HOMEMADE GUACAMOLE RECIPE
I love avocados. My mom used to spoon feed them to me as a baby. Even now, I’ll sprinkle some salt on and avocado and eat it with a spoon.
An avocado is technically a fruit and of course my favorite “fruit” is the one with the most calories and fat. Good fat they say. Whatever makes me feel better.
I was craving homemade guacamole dip and whipped up some to go with these Honey Lime Enchiladas. I know everyone likes their guacamole different but this is how we like ours.
To make homemade guacamole easy, if I’ve made a batch of this Pico De Gallo, I’ll just mash some avocados and throw some of that in since it’s basically the same. I like a simple guacamole.
Sometimes I add some finely diced jalapeno for some heat but most of the time I leave it out.

Guacamole
I like my Homemade Guacamole recipe on the chunky side with a few tomatoes, jalapeno, onions, lime, and cilantro.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe Hass avocados
- 1/2 cup red onion diced finely
- optional 2 roma tomatoes (seeded and diced finely)
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup cilantro chopped finely
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- salt and pepper to taste
- optional 1/2 jalapeno seeded and diced finely
Instructions
-
Cut avocados in half and remove pit. Scoop out flesh of avocado and coarsely chop it. Place in a large bowl and slightly mash with a fork. I like mine on the chunky side. Add the diced onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic and toss together with the avocados. If you like your guacamole on the spicy side add some diced jalapeno here.
-
Add the lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
-
Chill until serving. If not serving right away place saran wrap directly against the guacamole so that it does not oxidize and turn brown. Serve with tortilla chips.

Really good! I made a bunch to freeze! When avocados go on sale in the winter I like to load up!
Thank you!
When I make guacamole, I use Pace Mild Salsa, lime juice, dash of garlic powder, dash of chili powder, a couple of small scoops of sour cream to make it creamy. I have never had any leftover and my friends beg for more. With the Pace Mild Salsa, it cuts down on the chopping of tomatoes and onions, but already has the cilantro in it. I guess you could call it the lazy way of making guacamole.
Yes! Definitely a good hack. I do that when I’m short on time.
Christy Denney,
I also put diced up chunks of mango and diced up peaches in my guacamole. I love and make mango salsa also. So good when you spread on your tacos or enchiladas . Yummy!
Exactly my recipe, always a hit!
I am going try this it sounds good thanks for the recipe
How many carbs per serving???
Sorry. Not sure. I use MyFitnessPal to enter in my own brands and things for recipes.
Yum! I always thought making Guac is so complicated, but you made it look so easy. Might give it a try, soon 🙂
Aww thanks!
Love love love guacamole but can we please leave out the cilantro? I would just as soon eat soapy grass. Or can we at least recognize that MANY people just hate it? Love to go to a restaurant where they make guacamole at the table. Easy to ask to add the cilantro last so we cilantro haters can get our guac before it is added.
You can definitely leave it out. I heard it’s actually genetic. Some people taste cilantro as soapy.
