    This easy Homemade Guacamole recipe is made with just a few all-natural ingredients for the best guac ever!. Serve with your favorite chips or as the perfect topping on burrito bowls, chicken or fish.

    For years, I never made my own guacamole.   It was always one of those recipes that I thought was much harder to master than it truly is.

    My sister-in-law introduced me to making my own guacamole a few summers ago while we were on vacation at the beach. It’s just a few simple ingredients mixed together for the best tasting guac I have ever had!

    If you like your guacamole without cilantro, just leave it out. If you like your guacamole on the spicy side, feel free to add some finely chopped jalapeno peppers too!

    You can also make it’s consistency to your liking, I like mine on the creamy side so I like to mash my avocado’s more. If you like a chunky version, just mash your avocado’s a little less.

    Ingredients for Homemade Guacamole

    Avocados

    Tomato, finely diced

    Red onion, finely diced

    Minced garlic

    Fresh cilantro, chopped

    Lime

    Salt and pepper to taste

    Jalapeno peppers, optional
