    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.

    Serve with your favorite chips or as the perfect topping on burrito bowls, chicken or fish.

    Ingredients Needed for Guacamole

    Avocados

    Tomato, finely diced

    Red onion, finely diced

    Minced garlic

    Fresh cilantro, chopped

    Lime

    Salt and pepper to taste

    Jalapeno peppers, optional

    How to Make this Guacamole Recipe

    Serve with your favorite chips or atop chicken or fish.

    ENJOY!!
