Holy guacamole, this guac is good. Creamy, zesty, and just the right amount of spice, this guacamole is about a classic as it gets. But feel free to switch things up and make it your own. For instance, add a scoop of greek yogurt for extra creamy guacamole or add diced jalapenos for a kick that will keep the spice-averse away and leave more for you. Enjoy with a bag of your favorite corn tortilla chips or add a dollop to tacos or nachos.

Recipe notes and variations

- According to super-star chef, Alton Brown, letting your guacamole sit at room temperature for an hour or two will help the flavor meld
- While classic guacamole usually calls for red onions, if you’re out, white onions will add that crisp crunch you’re looking for.
