The key to making great guacamole is a simple technique - a base of chili-onion-garlic paste that permeates the whole dish, adding flavor to every bite. Your guests will rave and wonder how you got so much extra flavor into your guacamole. This recipe is meant to show you how you can make guacamole your own way. There are only 8 ingredients, and they are all variables. You can add as much or as little as you prefer to taste, even omit ingredients. I hope you love it as much as we do. Let’s talk about how to make guacamole, shall we? You might also enjoy my classic salsa recipe, too.

Awesome guacamole is easy to make with this simple technique of making a past with onion, serrano, and garlic. Use a molcajete or a food processor and mash the garlic, half of the finely chopped onion and half of the serrano into a paste. This paste is the key to extra flavor. Gently stir in diced tomato, fresh cilantro, and remaining diced onion and serranos. Taste and adjust for lime and salt. Boom! Done! Your simple guacamole is ready to serve. Easy enough to make, isn’t it? Serve with tortilla chips. This is the best guacamole you’ll ever have, truly classic, always delicious. Taco nights will never be the same. This will prevent oxidation, which makes guacamole turn brown. Pour off excess water, then mix and enjoy again. If any browning occurs, you can easily scoop off the brown top, or mix in fresh lime juice to freshen it up. I do not recommend freezing guacamole. That’s it, my friends. I hope you enjoy this easy guacamole recipe. Let me know if you make it. I’d love to hear how it turned out for you, and if you decided to spice it up!
