This my friends is hands down The BEST Guacamole recipe. In fact it may even be the best guac you’ll ever eat even including fancy (or fantastically divvy) restaurants!

It goes great paired with homemade refried beans and easy copy cat cafe rio Barbacoa or even Navajo tacos!

Since before I was married my hubby has raved about Jana’s guacamole. He reported times where she’d make the boys a batch and he’d eat it all up. Every guac was compared to hers and nothing was good enough. Well a couple yearsago when she was extremely pregnant he called her up and asked her to teach me the secrets of the guac. Yup he’s THAT guy ha!

More Delicious Appetizer Recipes

• Tomatillo Avocado Salsa– these is a thinner green salsa with avocado, so good as a dip or topping or when you want something lighter than full guacamole.
• EASYSpinach Artichoke Dip– another great crock pot option my husbands co-workers always request we bring this to the holiday party.
• Delicious Bean Dip– this is actually just homemade refried beans but trust me they are magical. Creamy and rich and served with chips they are the best. You can layer them in a 7 layer dip or serve them warm like I do as a dip on their own.
• Buffalo Chicken Dip – its just as easy and throwing everything into the crock pot but the flavor that comes out is amazing
• Cowboy Caviar– a light refreshing mix of beans, corn and avocado perfect for serving with chips

We went over with all the ingredients and now I can say with confidence that I too can make the best guacamole I have ever tasted.

I’m not a chunky veggie girl but I love this. Now I will share the recipe with you. It sounds basic but it’s delicious.

Best Homemade Guacamole Recipe

You do need to taste as you go to see if you want more of anything but here is the base recipe adjust it to your liking.

It’s super flexible too so if you want more big pieces of veggies you can. If you want more kick or salt that works too.

Ingredients for Guacamole

This is how I like to do it. I feel like it suits our family’s tastebuds perfectly. But, once you get the basis recipe down it’s easy to customize and experiment to your own personal tastes and whims.

• 2 small roma tomatoes
• 1 jalapeno
• 1/4 red onion
• 3 avocados
• 1/4 tsp garlic
• 1 TBS lime juice (adjust this to your taste)
• 1-2 tsp veganaise (I’m linking it on amazon so you can see what it looks like but they only have cases most grocery stores carry it nowadaysor you can use sour cream or plain yogurt but I do think the veganaise flavor is special)

How to Make the Restaurant Guacamole at Home

1. Roast the tomatoes and jalapeno. To do that just stick them on a skillet and burn them on all sides, set aside to cool
2. Chop onion, tomatoes, jalapeno and garlic very fine. (you can do bigger pieces if you like it chunky). Set aside.
3. Mash avocados and 1 tsp veganaise into whatever bowl you want to use.
4. Add tomatoes, onions, garlic and 1/2 of the jalapeno to the avocado mixture.
5. Mix it all up. Salt to taste. Add more of the jalapeno if you want more kick (after you taste it). Add more veganaise if you want it creamier.

Some times I add hot sauce, cilantro, and some onion powder. But this is one of those things where I add the ingredients in increments and taste and adjust.

Do roast the veggies it makes all the difference. This step really infuses the recipe with a specialness that’s hard to get otherwise.

Enjoy. I know it looks like regular old guac but everywhere I’ve taken it people have gobbled it up fast, I think the roasting and creamy stuff make all the difference.

I originally shared this recipe 9/10/2008 but it’s soo good I thought all you newer readers needed to experience the joys of this guacamole recipe. Oh and of course improve on those hideous pictures!
