I’ve been making a variation of this guacamole for years and it is always my go-to dish whenever I need to bring something over to someone’s house because it’s so simple and always a big hit.

Using simple, fresh ingredients, this dip is full of antioxidants, heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids and a ton of flavor! Serve with veggies, chips, pita or add to chili and tacos for a nutritious and festive addition to any meal!

Ingredients  

1x2x3x

• 2 large avocados
• 8 cherry tomatoes or about 1 C
• 1/2 onion
• 1 jalapeño seeds removed
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp chipotle powder
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
• juice from 1 lime

Instructions

• Slice avocado in half, lengthwise. Remove pit. Scoop avocado into a medium sized- bowl and mash with fork until creamy and mostly smooth.
• Wash tomato and pat dry. Cut tomatoes into eighths. Add to avocado.
• Dice onion and add to bowl.
• Wash jalapeño and pat dry. Dice and add to bowl.
• Add spices (salt, chipotle and smoked paprika). Mix all ingredients together.
• Add lime juice. Gently mix one more time to combine all ingredients. Enjoy!

Notes

• This will last in an airtight container for about 2 days in the fridge. I like to save the avocado pits and place them in the guacamole when stored, as this may help to keep it fresh for longer.

• This dish does not contain any gluten-containing ingredients, however, if you are avoiding gluten due to celiac, ensure that all spices used are certified gluten free.
