Fresh, homemade guacamole is a simple to prepare dish that you can tailor to your taste. Add it to your next Mexican dish!
Until recently, I did not care for guacamole. As much as I love Mexican food, I’d ask the server to leave it off my plate. It just wasn’t something I cared to eat.
My daughter, Rebecca, on the other hand, LOVES guacamole. She asked me to make her a batch one day.
After making it myself, I realized why I don’t care for most restaurant versions of guacamole, it was the cilantro. Many restaurants add way too much cilantro to their guacamole.
I’m not a huge cilantro fan, so being able to add just enough to my homemade version means I now add a healthy serving of this yumminess to my Mexican meals such as Chicken Enchiladas and Chicken Fajita Salad.

I don’t like guacamole but it’s not the cilantro but another ingredient – the avocado : ) However, most of my family loves it so thanks for sharing!
It took me a while to grow to love this. I don’t know about avocados in any other form, but this I like.
Hope your family enjoys it!
I’m not wild about guacamole either. I did try it homemade and liked it a little better.
I’m stopping by from BYB.
Thanks for stopping by today!
I think guacamole is an acquired taste, but now that I’ve acquired it, I really like it! 🙂
Yum! I love guacamole but have never tried making it. My sister makes it with peas (which for some reason sounds disgusting to me even though I like peas). I think I’ll have to try this – sounds easy enough! Thanks for sharing!
I hope you like it! 🙂
Peas? I like peas, but can’t say I’d like them as guacamole. 😉
I’m like you – I used to hate to even look at guacamole. Until I finally tasted it once and realized it is delicious!
My husband always says the bravest guy in the world was the guy who decided to eat the first avocado.
Oh, I know. Think of some of the foods we ate, who was the brave person who decided to go for it?!
Mmmm, I have all these ingredients at the moment so might have to try this with our enchiladas tomorrow night. I went off avocados completely after eating them all the time in Chile, but now I am getting fond of them again.
My eldest daughter would love living in an area where she could have access to avocados all the time! Hope you enjoy this version! 🙂
I honestly don’t know if I have ever actually tried guacamole. I think it’s a combination of the color and that I didn’t really know what was in it. Now, however, after seeing your recipe, I will definitely be trying some at the next opportunity. Thanks for sharing!!

I hope you’ll stop back and let me know how you liked it, Tina! 🙂
Can you believe I have never tried to make my own guacamole? I have no excuse now. 🙂 Thanks for linking up with “Try a New Recipe Tuesday.” I hope you will be able to join us again this week. http://our4kiddos.blogspot.com/2014/03/try-new-recipe-tuesday-march-4.html
