Homemade Fresh Guacamole
This recipe for fresh, homemade guacamole is seriously the best ever. Every single time I've made it for parties, appetizers, or pot lucks, I am absolutely hounded for the recipe! And, I am MORE than happy to share!
Our homemade guacamole is packed with flavor, a little kick (but not too much!), and is the perfect blend of chunky & smooth. Don't skip the fresh lime juice in this yummy dish – I promise you the taste is so different and so worth it!
Another reason I love making this guacamole is that it is a HUGE bang for your buck! Because you're only buying a few fresh produce items and a bag of chips, this recipe is a show stopper for only a few dollars. It's so easy to whip up – you'll never buy store bought guacamole again!
Here's how to make guacamole at home.

How to make guacamole
Start by slicing your avocados and scoring the pulp with a sharp knife. Using a spoon, scoop out the pulp and place in a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocados to make a chunky paste.
Add all remaining ingredients and mix well. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips or as an outstanding topping for tacos, burritos, and more.
Homemade Fresh Guacamole
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe Hass avocados
- juice from 1 lime
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp white pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ cup diced Roma tomatoes (seeds and insides removed leaving only flesh)
- ¼ cup diced red onions
- ¼ cup finely diced jalapenos (seeds removed)
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Slice avocados in half and remove the pit. With a dinner knife, score the avocado every 1/2-inch, turning knife lengthwise and crosswise to form 1/2-inch squares.
- Taking each avocado half, place a spoon between the skin and the pulp. Remove the pulp and place into a mixing bowl. With two forks, mash the avocados to make a chunky paste.
- Add remaining ingredients, and mix well.
- Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
Note: definitely use fresh limes here instead of bottled lime juice. The flavor difference is worth it. Also, diced jalapenos in a jar are a big time saver here and work great in this recipe.
