The Best Guacamole Recipe

Everybody loooooves guacamole! It's very easy to make... yes, it is. I typically whip up a batch several times a week and so can you. Here is my secret, easy and delicious recipe for making The Best Guacamole.

You only need a ripe avocado, some cilantro, red onion, lime, hot sauce and your favorite salsa. For hot sauce, use sriacha sauce or in my case, I use a hot sauce we got as a wedding favor—a family recipe by the father of the groom. We brought home two bottles and are just starting on the second bottle—it goes a long ways.

Mash the avocado and add the ingredients to make a delicious guacamole that won't last long so no worries about it turning brown due to oxidation. Be sure to buy organic chips or you're sure to get GMO corn (learn about the dangers of GMO). I like any of the variety of organic chips at Trader Joe's. I'm partial to the blue corn chips with flax seed. I also like the organic blue corn chips with flax seed you can get at Target (Archer Farms).

Add two tablespoons of your favorite salsa to the guacamole and voila... you have a yummy dip for chips that everyone will love. For salsa I currently looooove The Crazy Gringo Taco Wagon Salsa. A fresh salsa I purchase at the local Farmer's Market. I also like the Trader Joe's Chunky Salsa in a jar.
