THE GUACAMOLE EVERYONE LOVES!
If there’s one dish that always disappears in our house, it’s my husband’s guacamole! Every time friends or family come to visit, this is their request! And honestly, I would have to agree! It’s fresh, flavorful, and made with healthy ingredients! Whether he’s making street tacos or we’re just diving in with a bag of chips, this guacamole is the perfect addition to any gathering!
What makes it so special? It’s all about the fresh ingredients. Juicy tomatoes, cilantro, and the perfect blend of red and yellow onions give it that incredible depth of flavor. The jalapeño adds just the right amount of kick (but can be adjusted for those who like it mild), while the fresh garlic elevates everything. And of course, the star of the show would be the perfectly ripe avocados. The result? A guacamole that’s light, refreshing, and TOTALLY ADDICTING!
HERE IS WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR TWO PEOPLE
2-3 ROMA TOMATOES
1/2 CLOVE GARLIC
1/2 – 3/4 C. CILLANTRO
1/3 C. RED ONION
1/3 C. YELLOW ONION
2 MEDIUM AVOCADOS
JALEPENO to taste
SALT & PEPPER to taste
1/2 Juiced LIME
Use your food processor to chop up the onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and garlic. Mix to chop (we like it on the chunky side). In a separate bowl combine the chopped tomatoes, avocado, salt & pepper, and lime. Remember all of these ingredients can be altered to suit your particular taste. Mix both together and dive in!
Not only is it delicious, but it’s healthy! Avocados are packed with heart-healthy fats, and the mix of veggies adds a boost of vitamins and antioxidants. I love that it can be more than just a dip. I’ve even used it for my avocado toast topped with an egg…. SO GOOD! But let’s be honest, it never lasts longer than a day. If by some miracle you do have leftovers, it’s best eaten within a couple of days.

I love that my husband enjoys cooking for others. It’s truly his love language, and I’m grateful to be the recipient! He is definitely the cook in our house! I don’t cook, nor do I like to cook…….. and to be honest, I’m not very good at it! So thank heavens this is something he loves to do! He even takes care of the grocery shopping, which is just another reason I appreciate him so much!
