You may not have realized that it's so easy to make your own guacamole! The flavor is much more natural and fresh than buying the stuff.
Homemade guacamole makes an excellent poolside summer snack or make a big batch and serve it as an appetizer with tortilla chips or bring it to a potluck.
This will become your new favorite summer snack!
★ Ingredients You'll Need ★
You'll need fresh avocados of course.
Then you'll fold in pico de gallo. This is a great little hack!
Pico de gallo is made up of fresh tomaotos, onion, cilantro, jalapeño and lime. Using pico de gallo is my secret trick to make this recipe super easy. You circumvent chopping onions, tomatoes, chilantro and peppers. It saves a ton of time!
If you want more punch, you can add extra lime juice — fresh squeezed is best — but you don't have to since lime is already and ingredient in pico de gallo.
Add Garlic salt and cumin to taste to season your guac just how you like it. If you like spice, you can add in cayenne pepper too.
Guacamole is also great over salad, on eggs, spread on toast or enjoy it with dinner on tacos.
