There’s almost nothing more summery to me than a big bowl of guacamole (besides pool parties and a garden full of tomatoes, that is). But you can enjoy my fantastic guac recipe any time of year, whether you’re having company over or just enjoying a night in front of the TV. Try this with tortilla chips (of course), or get creative and dollop it on top of eggs or spread it onto a sandwich. It’s so simple, and so, so satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 8 avocados
  • 1 finely chopped jalapeno pepper
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped
  • The juice of 2 limes
  • 1 large tomato, seeded and chopped fine
  • A fistful of cilantro, finely chopped (save a sprig for the garnish!)
  • Tabasco sauce to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. It couldn’t be easier: Just mash up the avocados (I use a potato masher to keep my guac a little chunky, the way I prefer it). Then add the rest of the ingredients, and enjoy!
