My Favorite Guacamole

This is, obviously, my favorite guacamole recipe! I’m not sure where the recipe originated, but it makes a delicious guac, perfect for parties or snacking. This recipe can be used as a french fry dip, sandwich filling and chip dip. Any of the ingredients can be omitted or adjusted to suit your taste. It makes a small mixing bowl-sized amount, but this can easily be doubled to make a party-sized bowl.

I love this guacamole as a dip for Spicy Sweet Potato Fries. If you’re interested in Mexican recipes, you might also like Easy Pico de Gallo, Corn Tomato Avocado Salsa, Blueberry Pineapple Salsa, Street Corn Salad, or Jalapeno Pretzels.

GLUTEN FREE OPTION: Make sure the cayenne pepper and cumin you are using are both gluten free.
