How to Make Delicious Homemade Guacamole

If you’re on the hunt for the ultimate guacamole recipe, you’ve come to the right place! This is more than just an appetizer—it’s a must-have for any gathering, from festive Cinco de Mayo celebration to casual weekend get-togethers. It’s fresh, flavorful, and so simple to whip up.

I love using Village Farms Sinfully Sweet Campari® tomatoes in this recipe. Fun fact: Tomatoes add not only a burst of color but also provide a great dose of vitamin C and antioxidants. Paired with ripe avocados, packed with heart-healthy fats and fiber, this guacamole is as nutritious as it is delicious.

Feel free to make this recipe your own. The jalapeños add a nice kick, but you can adjust the spice to suit everyone’s taste. The tomatoes, lime, and cilantro bring a fresh balance that’s sure to impress.

Save this easy recipe to serve with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a topping for tacos and burrito bowls at your next gathering!

Serves: This guacamole recipe makes about 2 to 2.5 cups, which typically serves 4 to 6 people as an appetizer or dip. If you’re serving a larger group or using it as a topping for dishes, consider doubling the recipe.
