Homemade Guacamole {Easy Recipe}
Everyone knows about this famous avocado appetizer sauce, but I still wanted to share with you my homemade guacamole recipe because it’s easy, no-frills and too good to use without messing up the produce!
This is definitely a recipe I love to make because it’s super quick and can be made in a minute, you just need to have some good ripe avocados at home.
You can find several versions of guacamole but mine is without tomato (although you can add some) and I like it with small chunks, which is why I mash it with a fork, but if you like it smooth, feel free to chop it up.
I like to eat it mostly on toast, or with homemade pita chips, but it will also be delicious with Mexican tortilla chips.
