About this recipe

Guacamole is a classic dip that’s creamy, flavorful, and perfect for parties or a casual snack. This version from Preppy Kitchen is quick to whip up, taking just under 5 minutes, and is packed with fresh ingredients like garlic, onion, and jalapeño for a zesty kick.

What sets this guacamole apart is the balance of flavors and textures. The lime juice not only adds brightness but also helps mellow the sharpness of the onion and garlic, making it a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredient notes

  • Use 2 limes if they are dry, as they may not yield enough juice.
  • For extra spice, use 2 jalapeños instead of 1.

Tips from Preppy Kitchen’s video

  • Mince the garlic and onion finely and mix them with lime juice first to deflame them, which enhances their flavor without overpowering the guacamole.
  • Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture, as the creator prefers a chunky guacamole.
