I really love all things avocado. And, anytime I get a chance to cook with them, I jump on it.
I’ve featured a ton of avocado recipes here on NTTC, including Avocado-Bacon Stuffed Burgers, Spinach-Avocado Quesadillas, Creamy Avocado-Tomato-Cucumber Salad, and, most recently, Chocolate Avocado Mousse…. and the list goes on!
What I don’t understand is why I haven’t yet shared my favorite guacamole recipe… it is seriously the best guacamole I’ve ever eaten.
I had this version for the first time at my friend Marissa’s house years ago, and it has been my go-to ever since. It simply has the PERFECT combination of all the fresh ingredients that make guacamole the best-dip-ever! Thanks, Phill, for sharing your recipe so many years back… It continues to be my favorite!

The Very Best {EVER} Guacamole | No Thanks to Cake
Ingredients
- 6 avocados
- 3 tomatoes, diced
- 2 serrano peppers, diced
- 1 small red onion
- juice of 1-2 limes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Place your beautiful avocados into a mixing bowl. Mash them up with a potato masher or large spoon.
- Add the diced tomatoes, and mash them into the avocados.
- Add your serrano peppers and onion to the mixture, and mash them in. Note: I cheated and used my food processor to chop these bad boys up.
- Chop your cilantro and add it to the mix.
- Squeeze your fresh limes into the mixture. Note: For this batch, I only used one lime after tasting it. Use as much as you prefer…
- Add sea salt to taste and mix it in.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Also, you can build your own football field with the guacamole like I did for the Super Bowl this year.
Spread the guacamole in a rectangular pan. Pipe sour cream on the guacamole to create the field yard lines. Use cherry tomatoes to represent players on the field.
The final product looked a little something like this… Uh-Mazing.
[…] Move to a serving dish, and enjoy!! Add a dollop of homemade guacamole to the mix, if desired. […]
