I’ve tried all sorts of twisted and flavored guacamole recipes and yes, some of them are quite good. But nothing beats this Mexican classic when you crave guacamole perfection.
I mean, when eating Mexican Guacamole, I crave to taste the avocado and I crave to taste that tangy lime contrast with the smooth buttery avocado flavor. And I definitely need that bright cilantro taste to kick in, and a faint taste of scallions to balance it all out.
To me, that’s guacamole perfection. Other twists on this classic, I like to think of them as different avocado dips-not really Classic Mexican Guacamole.
Why this recipe works:
A Classic Mexican Guacamole is always a hit on any table and making this perfect guacamole will be one of the most rewarding kitchen experiences for you!
This simple classic Mexican Guacamole recipe is fresh, quick to make and bursting with flavor. The real unadulterated flavors you expect from the perfect guacamole come through beautifully!
Avocado, lime, cilantro and a hint of onion-flavor from the scallions.
My Classic Mexican Guacamole is definitely the perfect dip for any occasion and with just 4 ingredients and a load of goodness from the avocado a really clever food choice.
How to make this Classic Mexican Guacamole:
The recipe for this Mexican Guacamole could not be easier: Peel and deseed the avocados and place them in a medium bowl. Mash them to your desired consistency. Add the remaining ingredients and mix them all together. Adjust salt, lime juice to your taste
I will often add another 5th ingredient to my guacamole, and that’s entirely optional. Adding a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to this recipe adds richness and compliments all the vibrant flavors going on.
It’s entirely up to you. Although, why not try this Classic Mexican Guacamole with and without. Then decide which is your favorite? That will be an excuse to make more Mexican Guacamole and share it at your next gathering.
Tips for success:
- In this Classic Mexican Guacamole recipe, I left my avocados chunky side, as that’s our preference and the traditional Mexican way to serve it. Feel free to mash them as smooth as you like, or even use an immersion blender to blend your vegan guacamole into a smooth paste if that’s your preference.
- Add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to this recipe to make it extra smooth and rich.
- Store this guacamole in an airtight container and sprinkle with some lemon juice to keep the color nice and green.
