It is a HUGE hit at Taco Night and everyone always raves over it.

Spice up your Taco Night with this fresh, delicious homemade guacamole! :)

Here’s all you need…

How to Make The Best Guacamole

First peel and quarter a red onion and place it in a food processor.

Pulse a few times until coarsely chopped. You’ll be adding a few more things and processing it more, so it doesn’t have to be too finely diced at this stage.

Next, chop off the top of a jalapeno and split in half. If you can handle the heat, go ahead and throw it in just like this.

I prefer a more mild guacamole though, so I scrape out the seeds. :)

Add the jalapeno to the food processor…

As well as a handful (about a cup) of cilantro. Just roughlychop the leaves off the stems and throw them in the bowl.

Pulse a few more times until coarsely chopped.

Next, grab two plum (aka roma) tomatoes and split in half.

And scrape out the seeds.

Add the tomatoes to the food processor…

Andpulse until finely chopped. You could stop here and have pico de gallo!

When choosing avocados to make guacamole, they should give when squeezed, but not be mushy. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl.

Add the juice of half a lemon and half a lime (about a tablespoon of each).

And PLENTY of salt and pepper. I usually start with 1/2 teaspoon each. And for that “secret ingredient” flavor, add a dash of cumin.

Finally, add as much of the pico de gallo mixtureto the avocados as you’d like to get your desired texture. Stir with a fork until just combined. I like to leave my guacamole a little chunky.I usually have about 1/2 to 1 cup of the pico mixture leftover.

Placethe rest of the pico de gallo inseparate bowl for dipping chips and topping on tacos.

To serve, place the guacamole in a bowl and cover with slices of lime. This will keep the guacamole from turning brown! As the night goes on and the guacamole gets eaten, people can remove slices of lime to reveal more fresh guacamole.

Enjoy!!! :)
