There is something silly about being on the internet, like if someone came over to my house and I said “this is the best guacamole you’ll try!” – they’d probably just smile and nod.

But here I am, on the internet telling you all, that this is one of the best recipes there are (if not THE best). This tastes pretty identical to Chipotle’s guacamole, expect for the fact that I feel like I taste for salt and lime better and I omit jalapenos in mine!

I might also be ruffling some feathers here, but – garlic and tomatoes DO NOT belong in guacamole. They have no purpose and the garlic just ends up tasting weird and the tomatoes add too much moisture to the dip!

The best guac has 5 simple ingredients: Hass avocados, cilantro, red onion, lime juice, and salt. That is truly all you need for the most delicious guacamole.

This guacamole is creamy, tangy, has bright notes from the lime and cilantro, and a good crunch from the red onion (and tortilla chip too!)

This goes amazing on any taco, perfect for taco bowls, or just eat it with tortilla chips and a margarita if you desire!

I will say, the biggest trick to getting guacamole perfect is tasting it once you’ve followed the recipe below for salt and lime juice and add more if you see fit. Don’t be scared of the salt here, avocados need a good amount of salt to bring out it’s natural flavor!

I have been making this recipe for year, and it comes together so quickly with minimal ingredients – my kids love it! It can also be a perfect playdate snack too!
