Alright, that may be a bold statement. That said, I do think that this is a pretty great recipe, and it tends to disappear very quickly at parties. It’s also easy to modify, if you want to throw in a handful of cherry tomatoes, or substitute fresh jalapeños for the pickled ones. Just make sure your avocados are perfectly ripe — it makes all the difference. 
This guacamole also goes very well with tacos or on sandwiches — but my favorite way is the most simple, with some good corn chips and a beer, and summer doesn’t feel quite so far away.
The Best Guacamole
4 avocados, pitted and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
2-3 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, chopped (or to taste)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup cilantro chopped
1 teaspoon Sriracha, or to taste
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper
Scoop out avocado from peel into a medium bowl. Add onion, garlic, jalapeños, cilantro, and Sriracha, and mash with a fork until mixed together but avocado is still slightly chunky. Stir in lime juice and season well with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.


Excellent! And i live in th land of guacamole, where it is forever summer!
Lucky you! Avocados are so expensive in New York — I’m jealous!
Lived there too. Feel your pain. Gorgeous blog you have!
love sriracha and guac, but never thought to combine them—thanks for sharing this, will definitely be gobbling this up soon
Just sayin’ I am available for your next Guacamole party.
Yum! Love guacamole!
I was looking to try avocados. Someone told me to try some guacamole first. Can you recommend a type for a newbie? All my friend could say is that it tastes green.
Hi Gemma — I think that homemade guacamole is much better than the store-bought kind (they tend to taste kind of artificial, and have lots of preservatives), and it’s easy to make. Look for avocados with dark skin and a bit of give (not too mushy). I also love avocados on toast with just a little sea salt — that way, you get all of the buttery, creamy flavor.
