Guacamole is a classic dish that's always a hit at parties, with its vibrant colors, creamy texture, and perfect balance of flavors.

Whether you’re serving it with tortilla chips, on tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes, this guacamole will be your go-to recipe for easy, delicious results every time.
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
- 1 small onion, roughly chopped
- 1 small tomato, deseeded and chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about half a lime)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small jalapeño (optional, for heat), seeds removed and roughly chopped
Instructions:
-
Prep the Ingredients:
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into the food processor. Add the onion, tomato, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, salt, pepper, and jalapeño (if using).
-
Blend in the Food Processor:
- Pulse the food processor a few times to start breaking down the ingredients. Once it’s started to blend, run the processor continuously for about 15-20 seconds, or until everything is smooth and well-combined. If you prefer a chunkier guacamole, pulse just a few more times until you reach your desired texture.
-
Taste and Adjust:
- Give your guacamole a quick taste test. If you want it tangier, add a bit more lime juice. If it needs more heat, throw in a pinch of chili powder or another slice of jalapeño. Adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
-
Serve:
- Transfer the guacamole to a bowl and garnish with additional fresh cilantro leaves. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or your favorite Mexican dish.
Conclusion:
Using a food processor to make guacamole not only saves time but also gives you a creamy, perfectly blended dip in just a few minutes. It’s perfect for parties, snacks, or even as a healthy addition to your weekly meal prep. Simple, fresh ingredients combined with the power of your food processor make this guacamole a surefire winner every time!
