I love this delicious Guacamole! Last night I made Touchdown Dip and I had to make this to go along side for a kind of “grazing” meal. Chips, salsa, Touchdown Dip which is a queso with white cheddar and green chile, of which I will share the recipe! It is so good. Add both of these to your next party or game day!
I best results I make mine in a molcajete. It’s so easy to grind the salt, garlic and cilantro to form a paste to prevent having bites of garlic or cilantro, imparting wonderful flavors.

delicious guacamole!
I start this deliciousness by placing my garlic and some jalapeno in the bottom with some salt. The salt helps break down the garlic and pepper. I mash and break up until a paste has formed. I then add some chopped onion and I break up just a little but I don’t form a paste with the onion. I kind of like a couple of chunks of onion in mine.
Then I add my avocado and stir to combine with the avocado, onion and jalapeno. I add the juice of one lemon or lime, salt and pepper to taste. Taste before you add salt because if you added salt when you were breaking up your ingredients you don’t want to over salt. I then add fresh chopped tomatoes and some chopped cilantro! That’s it and so good.
If you don’t have a molcajete you can do the same in a shallow bowl allowing you to break up ingredients with a fork. You can also use a food processor and use the pulse. I do think that breaking up these ingredients and making a paste allows the flavors to meld and you don’t have big chunks of onion, jalapeno or garlic.
I have a simple recipe that just has lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper. This is good especially when you want a quick recipe and you have avocados you need to use. Here’s the link for that recipe: https://the2spoons.com/my-ever-so-easy-guacamole/.
I served my guacamole with fajitas as I mentioned before and here is the link for my delicious fajitas: easy grilled skirt steak fajitas and shrimp
Charro Beans were another side dish and here is the link for those: https://the2spoons.com/love-these-charro-beans/
Here’s the recipe!
Enjoy!
Ingredients
Method
- Place the jalapeno and garlic in the molcajete if using or in a shallow bowl and add a pinch of salt. Mash the garlic and jalapeno with the salt to make a paste.
- Add the cilantro and some lime juice and mash to all has been broken down and no large pieces are visible. Add the avocado, mash and combine. Add your lime juice, stir and check for salt. To finish add in your tomatoes and onions and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I find that a container that doesn't leave too much room after your guacamole works the best or keeps it from getting brown on top quicker. Enjoy!
