    This creamy guacamole recipe is a favorite in our household. We initially shared it in April of 2016, but like many of the older recipes on our site we are going back to revamp the photos.  We hope you enjoy the new cleaner, sophisticated look and updated photos!

    Additionally, we don't claim that this is a super authentic recipe. It's simply the way I've been making my guacamole for year. A friend of mine tasted this recipe about 6 years ago and has been asking about it ever since. Happy to show it off to her and the rest of you!

    Here's What You Need For Creamy Guacamole:

    • Fresh garlic
    • Jalapeño- optional, you can remove seeds to reduce heat.
    • Fresh lime juice
    • Avocados
    • Sour cream - not a traditional ingredient, but it's what makes this creamy!
    • Olive oil
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Fresh cilantro, (optional)

    Here's How To Make Creamy Guacamole:

    • Avocado Lime Crema
    • Pressure Cooker Carnitas
    • Low Carb Burrito Bowl

    Here's How To Make Creamy Guacamole:

    Finely mince the garlic and jalapeño. If you don't like spicy, take out the jalapeño seeds. We like spicy, so we leave them in. Dice up about ½ of your cilantro stems and leaves and set aside the rest of the cilantro for garnish.

    • close up of a bunch of fresh cilantro

    Very carefully cut the avocados in half and remove the seeds. Seriously, be careful.
