Of course, were celebrating the holiday with a big Mexican fiesta. I'm going to whip up a batch of fresh homemade guacamole.
Did you know that store-bought guacamole sometimes has guacamole powder in it? No bueno! No need to mess with that stuff. I'll show you how easy it is to make your own guacamole right at home.
The hardest thing about this recipe is cutting and dicing the onions and garlic. Just use a food processor and problem is solved. You can also buy a jar of minced garlic to save time as well.

ReplyDeleteHa! I bet your bean dip recipe is good.
DeleteI love love love Guac! It doesn't love me because I am allergic to FRESH fruits and veggies. So it's a gamble when I decide to eat it. I'm going to make some tonight for the kids. I may just sit and watch them eat it. lol
ReplyDeleteAw, that stinks. I love guac too, I'll eat some for ya! ;)
DeleteThis recipe is short and easy. I will definitely be using my food processor. I love guacamole as well and I can't wait to try this homemade version.
ReplyDeleteShort and easy is the name of the game!
DeleteI love Mexican food. I've never had homemade guacamole before but it sounds tasty.
ReplyDeleteOh you should try it Jay. It's the best!
DeleteI love mexican food too but I never used onions in my homemade guacamole.

Really? I've only had it a few times without onions.
DeleteI absolutely love fresh guac. We make it here all the time for carrot sticks.
ReplyDeleteI've eaten it that way too.
DeleteI loveeeeeeee Mexican food and love making my guac at home. Growing up in Florida we ate avocados as a snack.
ReplyDeleteNow see, I would love that!
DeleteI love guac. I love your simple recipe. It's the way I prefer it versus some of other recipes with too much going on.
ReplyDeleteI try to keep it simple and sweet!
DeleteReally? Wow,you're missing out Suzie!
ReplyDeleteI love a good guac. Your recipe seems very easy!
ReplyDeleteI love Mexican food but to be honest didn't celebrate Cinco de Mayo, instead hubby and I celebrated his birthday Saturday at Ali Baba's which was awesome and well worth the calories!!!!
ReplyDeleteI make a great homemade quacamole too. I actually add a splash of chunky salsa and mix it into mine too. I season with adobo, garlic powder and pepper and lemon juice to help it keep the bright green color
ReplyDeleteI love Mexican food. I enjoy guacamole too. Your recipe looks quick and easy. Thanks for sharing the tips on the food processor and minced garlic!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely no bueno for the powder! I love avocado and can eat it with almost everything. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us.
ReplyDeleteYuck to the guacamole powder! I love guacamole, especially when it's homemade. It has been awhile since I last made guacamole at home.
ReplyDeleteAlso, loving your new blog design! I have updated mine too since my old theme rated low during the speed test. Having a fast loading blog is important now. #ProductReviewParty
I love Mexican food. However, I have never tried guacamole. It is something that is on my to try list, though.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe I will store with my Mexican recipes. I have never made my own so it will be nice to try this at the next cookout that I go to
