Gemma If you are looking to bring your fajitas to life, create some great dips or add a special something to a sandwich or burger then an easy homemade guacamole is one of the most rewarding sides… and, you can literally throw it together.
I have used this recipe for years. It’s quick, fresh and the kids love it. I was out of lime when I made this video but it is the only way to get the best results, especially when making ahead, so be sure to have them in if you can. I sometimes make this guac for packed lunches and when I do I add the juice of an additional lime to keep it fresh and bright green the next day. Now, there are plenty of reasons to not over lime your guac — but I’m coming at this from a position of rarely being able to make guacamole right when I need it. Give it 10 years…
If you don’t already make your own guacamole then your mind is about to be blown, and I doubt you will want to go back to the dull, tangy shop-bought stuff. Admittedly avocados aren’t a cheap ingredient but this is so yummy that it is worth giving it a go next time you are having a treat!
