Easy 5 Ingredient Guacamole

Until about 10 years ago, I kind of HATED avocados. The sad part is I’d actually only eaten them once or twice before I decided that I wasn’t a fan. Go figure 🙂 Then, something or someone (I don’t remember back that far) prompted me to give them a second chance! I’m so glad I did! My reintroduction to the avocado came in the simplest way possible – chips and guac! OMG! I was totally hooked on both the guac AND the avocado. Nowadays, one of MY favorite ways to use this tasty little nugget of green goodness is in my easy 5 ingredient guacamole.

Just like most of my recipes, I have a handful of different guacamole recipes that I pull out depending on the situation. There’s the big batch guacamole recipe for when I need to serve a large crowd. I used that particular one at my son’s graduation party.

Then, there’s the ‘more stuff in the guac’ recipe that I pull out now and then. It’s filled with a bit more guacy (👈a Lori word) goodness than some of my others. Sometimes I like my guacamole a bit smoother and other times I like it chock full of stuff – just depends on my mood!

The easy 5 ingredient guacamole recipe I’m sharing with you today is what I often use for quick weeknight meals because I’m really the only one who likes guac in my house! It’s the ideal serving size for one or two people.

And personally, I like to use guacamole on nearly any Mexican recipe I make, from my taco pizza to my easy weeknight enchiladas to my one pot taco pasta. Yep – a little guac with the pasta is wonderful, believe it or not 🙂 Or, maybe I’m just a bit of a weirdo when it comes to food 🙂 Who knows?

Anywho, I hope you enjoy my easy 5 ingredient guacamole! You’ll have it whipped up in a flash and it’s the perfect portion for one or two servings.
