Ingredients

Scale
  • Classic Guacamole:
  • 3 large ripe avocados (about 600g), peeled and pitted
  • 1 medium lime, juiced (about 2 tbsp)
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced (about 1/4 cup)
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 medium Roma tomato, seeded and diced (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Spicy Sriracha Guacamole:
  • 3 large ripe avocados (about 600g), peeled and pitted
  • 1 medium lime, juiced (about 2 tbsp)
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1–2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • Smoky Chipotle Corn Guacamole:
  • 3 large ripe avocados (about 600g), peeled and pitted
  • 1 medium lime, juiced (about 2 tbsp)
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced (about 1 tbsp)
  • 1/2 cup roasted corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prep the Avocados: Cut all avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into separate bowls for each recipe. Mash avocados with a fork or masher until mostly smooth with a few chunks.
  2. Make Classic Guacamole: Add lime juice, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, diced Roma tomato (optional), salt, and black pepper to mashed avocados. Mix gently until combined. Taste and adjust salt or lime if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
  3. Make Spicy Sriracha Guacamole: Add lime juice, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, Sriracha, salt, garlic powder, and cumin to mashed avocados. Mix well, taste, and add more Sriracha if desired. Transfer to a bowl and cover.
  4. Make Smoky Chipotle Corn Guacamole: Add lime juice, minced chipotle pepper, roasted corn, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, salt, and smoked paprika to mashed avocados. Fold ingredients together. Transfer to a bowl and cover.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Before serving, uncover each bowl and taste again. Add more lime or salt if needed.
  6. Serve: Arrange bowls on a platter with chips, sliced veggies, or pita. Garnish with cilantro sprigs or a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
  7. Troubleshooting: If guac turns brown, add extra lime and cover tightly. Too salty? Add more avocado. Too spicy? Stir in sour cream or plain yogurt.
  8. Efficiency Tip: Prep all add-ins before mashing avocados.
  9. Sensory Cue: Guac should smell fresh and vibrant; add more lime or cilantro if dull. For chunkier texture, fold in diced tomato.

Notes

Use Hass avocados for best texture. Make guacamole as close to serving as possible for freshness. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning. Adjust spice and salt to taste. For extra creaminess, stir in dairy-free yogurt. All three bowls are naturally vegan and gluten-free.
