Looking for the best guacamole recipe? Well, I may be a little biased, but here are my top three favorites, along with ways to make your favorite guacamole even better.

Now I know there are a lot of Guacamole Recipes out there, and people have pretty strong opinions about how it should or shouldn’t be. This post is all about breaking out of the guacamole box. But first…

How to Make the Best Guacamole:

The secret to making the best guacamole is simple:

  1. Use Ripe avocados
  2. Finely dice your onion, jalapeno and cilantro.
  3. Balance salt, heat and lime juice to your own personal taste.
  4. Test with a chip (or whatever you plan to serve it with).

Traditional Mexican Guacamole Ingredients

Authentic Mexican guacamole requires only a few simple ingredients – avocados, onion,  cilantro, jalapeno pepper, lime juice,  optional tomatoes and salt.  Simple and Easy. I love adding a little coriander and cumin, but this is not imperative.

  1. Ripe avocados
  2. onion
  3.  jalapeno
  4. lime
  5. fresh cilantro
  6. cumin and coriander
  7. salt and cayenne
  8. optional tomato (can serve as a garnish)

Do tomatoes belong in Guacamole?

The great tomato debate! Some of us love adding tomatoes to Guacamole and some are adamantly against it. I’m in the tomato camp, especially when they are in season, but here’s a way to make everyone happy: Serve the tomatoes as a garnish. 🙂

How to Get the best consistency!

Instead of mashing your avocado, try using two knives and slice the avocado right in the bowl into very small pieces. Then whip with a fork to get the creamy consistency you desire. Taste and adjust salt and lime. Garnish with cilantro, tomatoes, radish, jalapeno and a drizzle of olive oil.

So tasty!

Furikake, if unfamiliar is a Japanese seaweed-sesame seasoning that is sprinkled on top. You can make this, or buy it at Asian markets or most upscale grocery stores.  Trader Joe’s has a tasty version of it!

  1. Hi! All 3 way taste delicious! I just happened to made both Dukkah and Zaarter lately, so I tried both! Furikake is very familiar in Hawaii, so we always have in our counter, as well! Thanks for great recipes, always:)






  2. I am a guacamole fanatic so your different takes on guac sound amazing!! They are hands-down the most creative recipes for guacamole that I have ever seen. I just found your website yesterday btw, and have already printed several recipes to try….because of this, it might be a little bit before I make them, but I’ll get back to you once I do. 🙂
    Both the NW and SW are so lucky to have their own wonderful variations of Mexican food…it is a beautiful culture and their cuisine is no exception. I live in the North Texas area, so here we have Tex-Mex, but I have always wanted to try Cali-Mex. I have been told that is different from how the Mexican food tastes here, but it is equally as good or maybe even better, depending on the taste of the reviewer. Hopefully I will travel to California sometime and get to experience it. Thank you again for sharing your recipes. Stay healthy and take care.
