GUACAMOLE RECIPE

With only a handful of ingredients, you are one dip away from the most perfect guacamole! Guac is one of those recipes that is extremely forgiving and easy to make your own way. Add in anything you like! From jalapeños to your favourite Mexican cheese (like queso fresco or cotija), you can pretty much make a good dip to suit your own tastes. Another epic Mexican dip to plate up next to your guacamole is our Authentic Mexican Salsa.

So easy and simple! Plus, since avocados are loaded with healthy fats, you can rest assured a bowl of guac with chips OR veggie sticks will keep you satisfied!

WHAT INGREDIENTS GO IN GUACAMOLE? 

Avocado, cilantro, onion, Serrano chiles (or jalapeños), lime, tomato and salt. No sour cream or cream cheese needed!

HOW TO MAKE GUACAMOLE

What makes a good guacamole recipe? Start with mashing together your base of onion, cilantro and chiles before adding avocado and lime juice. This is how it’s made in Mexico, creating epic flavours.

Some say to lightly smash your avocados to keep guac super chunky, while some others prefer creamy guac. Whichever style you go for, you will absolutely love the flavours.

Use fresh ingredients where you can (fresh cilantro, super ripe avocados, etc), and adjust the ingredients to suit your tastes. more or less chiles, etc.
