Guacamole is a simple, delicious dip that takes only a few minutes to prepare. This 4-ingredient recipe delivers maximum flavor with minimal effort and is perfect for tacos, chips, or as a spread.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion or shallot
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Avocados
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Step 2: Mash the Avocados
- Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
Step 3: Add the Lime Juice
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mashed avocado and mix well. This adds flavor and prevents browning.
Step 4: Mix in the Onion and Salt

Step 5: Serve
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, veggies, or your favorite Mexican dishes.
Tips for Perfect Guacamole
- Freshness Matters: Use ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture. Ripe avocados will yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- Prevent Browning: Store any leftovers with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the guacamole to minimize air exposure.
- Add-Ons: While this recipe keeps it simple, you can customize with diced tomatoes, cilantro, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
