Hey there, fellow avocado enthusiast! Let’s dive into the wonderful world of guacamole, shall we? Picture this: creamy, dreamy avocados mashed to perfection and mingled with zesty lime juice, vibrant tomatoes, crunchy onions, and a hint of spicy jalapeños. It’s a fiesta for your taste buds, guaranteed to elevate any gathering or solo snacking session to new heights of deliciousness.
First things first, let’s talk avocados. Those green gems of goodness are the heart and soul of any guacamole worth its salt (or lime juice, in this case). Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure when you give them a gentle squeeze. Slice them open, remove the pits (carefully, now!), and scoop out the velvety flesh into a bowl.
Now, here comes the fun part – mashing! Grab a fork and get ready to work those avocados until they’re smooth and creamy, with just a few delightful chunks left for texture. It’s a bit of an arm workout, but trust me, the end result is so worth it.
However, it’s time to add some flavour bombs to our guac. Squeeze in some fresh lime juice to add a pop of citrusy brightness that’ll make your taste buds sing. Then, toss in diced tomatoes for a burst of freshness, finely chopped onions for a touch of zing, and sliced red chillies/jalapeños for a subtle kick of heat. Don’t forget to sprinkle in some salt and pepper to taste – seasoning is key to taking your guac from good to guac-a-mazing!
Now, give everything a good mix, making sure all those delicious ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the creamy avocado base. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your liking – after all, you’re the master of your guac destiny!
And there you have it – a bowl of guacamole that’s as vibrant and flavourful as it is easy to make. Serve it up with tortilla chips, use it as a topping for tacos/nachos or lovely warm bread with tomatoes. Alternatively, grab a spoon and dive right in. One thing’s for sure: this guacamole is sure to be a hit at any fiesta, gathering, or solo snack attack.
Undeniably, Gorgeous Guacamole is a dip for all seasons. This simple Mexican dish can be tweaked to your taste buds with tomatoes and more. Served as a dip, side dish, snack and appetiser. A simple recipe that includes simple ingredient such as avocados, chillies, onion and lime juice. You can add more for a different texture like chopped tomatoes. Alternatively, my favourite is freshly made bread with a thick covering of this guacamole and chopped tomatoes scattered on top.
¡Buen provecho!

- 1 large red onion finely chopped
- 1/4 bunch cilantro finely chopped
Instructions
- Carefully cut around the avocado along the long side. Cut in far enough so you feel the stone.2 large ripe avocados
- When been all the way round, twist each half in opposite directions should split the avocado into two. If not then try using a spoon to prise it apart.
- Remove the stone and dispose of it unless you want to grow your own plant.
- Using a blunt knife, score the flesh of each half and scoop out using a spoon.
- Place the flesh into a bowl.
- No using a fork, mash the avocado into the texture you like. I prefer smoother but my husband prefers it a bit chunkier.
- Add the salt and lime juice.1/4 tsp salt, 1 tbsp lime juice
- Add the diced tomatoes, finely chopped onion and chili, chopped cilantro and a good pinch of black pepper. Don't overdo the chili. Add a little and after testing add more if needed. Safer that way!!2 pinch ground black pepper, 2 medium red chillies, 1 large red onion, 1/4 bunch cilantro, 4 medium plum tomatoes
- You may need to add more salt, pepper, lime juice and chillies etc to get it just how you like.
- Serve immediately or if being made in advance, cover with tight clingfilm/food wrap and place in the fridge until needed. The Lime Juice will help prevent the Guacamole turning brown.
