Before pregnancy number two I had never eaten an avocado, or even knew what they looked like. But for some reason I craved guacamole with Emylia, and ate it plentifully through those 36 weeks. There was something about the creamy cool texture juxtaposed on those salty yet crispy corn chips. No it wasn’t entirely healthy, and yes my hips are still wearing some of those chips…but I still love me some good guac!
I’ve tried the store bought kinds and love Wholly Guacamole…but it needs some tomato. Everyone raves about Chipotle’s (who released their recipe this weekend), but that’s too spicy for me. I never thought I’d find that perfect guacamole recipe until I walked into my sister in law’s house. Her new hubby and awesome chef just happens to make the best guacamole…like EVER! So here is Uncle Timmy’s famous guac recipe that doesn’t last more than 5 minutes when he puts it out!
The secret? Lemon of course! And don’t you love that you just need 5 ingredients?
I personally like The Good Chip Corn Chips, but you can always just dip your favorite veggies! Or try making plantain chips…yum!
And why not wash it down with a nice clean margarita. This is a fantastic recipe that’s still healthy and not full of sugar. I can’t stand sour mix…ick!
the best guacamole recipe ever!
- 4 Ripe Avocados
- 1 Plum Tomato
- 1 Whole Lemon Squeezed
- 1/4 Finely Diced Red Onion
- Salt to Taste
- Chop all of your avocados, and mash to a creamy texture. Then add lemon juice, chopped plum tomato, red onion, and a few pinches of salt. Mix together and wow your guests!
- You can add crushed garlic for added kick or even a dash of cayenne pepper if you like more spice!
Pin this for later! 
Yummy! I need to make this with dinner tomorrow!
You totally had me at guacamole!! Seriously going to make this tomorrow night now with my Mexican themed dinner for Cinco de Mayo. So, thank you!! 🙂
I love guacamole!! This looks simple and delish… perfect for tomorrow! 🙂
Now I’m craving guacamole! And I have no car today to go to the grocery store. Oh the trials and tribulations, haha.
I love that this is so easy to make. Sometimes the more simple, the better! Pinning for sure.
OH yeah – with a glass of sangria! I can taste it right now! Thanks for the inspiration! Sharing!
plantain chips are a great idea!
I always use lime juice. I am definitely trying lemon juice next time!
You will love it! It’s a subtle but tangier difference, I add 1 1/2 lemons sometimes…I know…I’m wild!
I love guac but have never made it myself. The wholly guacamole is good. I also like Wildtree’s guacamole blends/spices so that I just add to avocado. It’s delicious but still not as fresh as this sounds. Thanks Uncle Timmy for the easy recipe.
Make it – you’ll be HOOKED!! I just made plantain chips for tomorrow…woo hoo!
Ooh, lemon! Cassidy makes a pretty famous recipe from a book his friends wrote. I thought it was lime and not lemon, though. Or both? I’d love to do a taste test with citrus fruits.
One thing is that I don’t do onions OR cilantro so most guacamole recipes leave me cold. Cassidy has to makes his bland for me, but it’s still chock full of flavor!
(I never had avocado until pregnancy)
So omit the onion and YES…it’s SUPPOSED to be lime juice, the lemon is tangier. I love it! This is bland and delish all at once!
I love avocado! I do a variation of this recipe but have never used lemon juice! I will be trying this for the weekend. I am sure the “man” will love it. He is such a dip person it is ridiculous!
I love fresh guar- so simple and so tasty. I would add a dash of cayenne if the kids aren’t eating it!
I LOVE avocados and GUAC!! Will try this! I dip you dip WE dip!! hehe
Mmmm….your first paragraph made me want to run up to our kitchen and grab some guacamole and chips right away, but not until doctoring it up with some of your BIL’s recommendations! Thanks for the tips!
I absolutely ADORE guacamole! I have it with my eggs, crackers, and of course, nachos! Your recipe sounds great – I would definitely be adding the garlic… I love garlic.
Thanks for sharing!

Guacamole is like a narcotic to me! I love that stuff and would slather it on everything if I could. Probably, not the wisest choice though… This recipe is the bomb and I just pinned it onto my real Hispanic people food board on Pinterest (that is a big honor from a Hispanic person) Happy Cinco de Mayo:)
Wow – I am honored! But I can’t take credit – this is Uncle Timmy’s magic recipe!
What an easy and delicious dip! I have a few avocado sitting around. Was planning to make some sushi tonight, but probably will use one avocado for sushi and the rest for guac! Thanks a lot for sharing with us. 🙂
I’ve never made my own before, I’ll have to try this recipe. Love guacamole!
You haven’t? So easy!
