No-Frills Guacamole

Credit: Caitlin Bensel

No-Frills Guacamole Recipe

This recipe gets back to basics and makes flavor balance the top priority so no ingredient tramples on the exquisite, subtly nutty, and lightly sweet flavors of avocado. As with all simple recipes, the quality of the ingredients makes or breaks the dish: Be particularly sure to use avocados at peak ripeness. We let the onion and jalapeño macerate with the lime juice and salt to tame their flavors slightly. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips, and set out some crunchy vegetables to dip, too, such as radishes, mini sweet peppers, and jicama slices.

Easy Guacamole

Credit: John Autry; Styling: Cindy Barr

Easy Guacamole Recipe

If you've ever wondered how to make guacamole that's the perfect, creamy consistency, trust us, the food processor makes quick and easy work of this crowd-pleasing dip. Our Easy Guacamole is just that—ridiculously easy. Simply place your aromatics and seasonings in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to chop; then, add in the star ingredient—avocado—and process until smooth. Besides being downright delicious, guacamole is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, making it an easy appetizer you can feel good about. We like the heat level that results from leaving the seeds in the jalapeño, but you can seed the pepper for a milder guac. Serve this easy-to-make gucamole with tortilla chips or crudités.

Gabriel's Guacamole Recipe

This is the base guacamole recipe from Gabriel's in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It is intended only as a jumping-off point: Add more seasonings to your taste. We preferred it with 1/2 teaspoon jalapeño, 4 teaspoons onion, and 4 teaspoons lime juice.

Guacamole with Chipotle Tortilla Chips Recipe

Chipotle chile powder gives the crunchy chips a smoky kick that pairs well with the buttery guacamole. Use ground cumin or regular chili powder in its place, if you prefer. Prepare the chips up to a day ahead, and store in a zip-top plastic bag.
