Creamy, garlicky and very moreish, this Best Ever Guacamole recipe is so easy to make that you’ll find yourself serving it all the time. It regularly makes its way onto my plate with anything that is vaguely Tex-Mex. In fact, it’s so gorgeous that it usually becomes as big a component of my meal as the main game. A big pile of guacamole next to a big pile of Tex-Mex gorgeousness = heaven!
Should my guacamole be smooth or chunky?
That’s a question that only you can answer. I love both! If you want it really smooth then you can always use your food processor but I find a fork usually gives a smooth enough result.
Where’s the tomato?
Lots of guacamoles have diced tomato stirred into them. I prefer it smooth, creamy and unadulterated but feel free to add tomato if you wish. I sometimes top mine with diced tomato or red onion because it looks pretty, but I don’t stir any in.
How many of my 5-a-day is this?
Half an avocado equals one of your 5-a-day so eating just quarter of this recipe gives you one of your 5-a-day!
What can I eat this with?
This guacamole goes brilliantly with my Easy Chicken Fajitas or my Juicy Chicken Enchiladas, but I love this guacamole with almost anything – in a sandwich with sliced mozzarella and tomatoes, alongside some cold roast chicken or as part of my Lunch Box Salad. I also love it as a base on my Mediterranean Toast or served alongside my Roast Veg, Chickpea and Halloumi Bowl. Basically, if you like the sound of it then give it a go.

What a lovely simple guacamole recipe! Very similar to mine except I usually use onion instead of garlic and add in a bit of fresh coriander / cilantro. But I’d be very happy to have it your way too – I’m such a big fan of guac, pretty much any way it comes!! Thanks for linking up to #CookBlogShare. Eb 🙂
I agree, I’m very happy to eat guac any which way! But I do love it with just a hint of garlic. And I’ve never put coriander in it – one to try!
Ths looks so good, I absolutely love fresh guac!
Hi Kat. I do too. I can devour mountains of it. It’s a good job it’s good for us!
