Guacamole Dip is a super easy dip to make with fresh veggies and ripe creamy avocados and loaded with flavor. It only takes minutes to make and serve it with your favorite tortilla chips, a burger, or a taco and the list could go on and on.

We have always enjoyed guacamole and usually eat it with our favorite tortilla chips. Normally we would buy the avocados and a packet of guacamole dip mix it up and eat it. Until one day I decided to try making my own recipe.

What a surprise to see how easy it was and how much better it was than the dip packets that we usually bought. Plus all the veggies in the dip are fresh and good for you.

Ingredients:

  • Avocados
  • Jalapeno pepper
  • Garlic
  • Onion
  • Roma tomato
  • Sour cream
  • Cumin
  • Salt
  • Juice from a lime

Helpful Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados. If it yields to a light pressure it is ripe without leaving indentations. The skin should be dark green to almost black. Ripe avocados should have skin with a bumpy texture.
  • The best type of avocados to use for guacamole is the Haas avocados. The large avocados that come from Florida contain more water and don’t work as well.
  • Use a food processor for chopping the jalapeno, onion, and garlic to cut down the time it takes to make the dip. Also, I like the fact that the food processor chops these vegetables finer. Use a mini food processor if you have one, it works great.
  • Don’t forget the salt.
  • Gradually add the lime. The lime gives the dip loads of flavor, but with all recipes, taste varies from person to person.
  • Don’t make the guacamole to early. Oxidation will cause the dip to turn brown.
  • To help your dip from turning brown store it in an airtight container. Although you can eat the dip if it starts to turn brown.
  • The dip can be stored in the airtight container for 1 or 2 days, but I think it is best to eat it when it is fresh.

Steps for making Guacamole Dip:

Step One:

Prepare the jalapeno, onion, and garlic for the dip. Cut the jalapeno lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Coarsely chop and add to the food processor, process until the vegetables are finely chopped.

Step Three:

Step Four:

Step Five:

Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup onion

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Cut the avocados in half and remove the seed from each avocado. Remove the pulp and mash with a fork.
  • Chop the tomato into small pieces. I don't like to process the tomato in the food processor because it would cause it to become mushy.

  • Add the cumin and salt and mix it in.
  • Mix in the lime juice and serve.

Notes

  1. Use ripe avocados for the best flavor for the dip.

    Guacamole is an all-time favorite here! I like sneaking a bit of chipotle powder in ours, too…it adds a nice smoky flavor. Either way, we didn’t make any guac for the Super Bowl this year, but I’m thinking we might need to pick up some avocados to make some guacamole soon. These photos are making me crave it!
