Suitable for Vegan, Low Carb, Keto And Gluten Free Diets. Weight Watchers Points included. This Homemade Guacamole is really easy to make using the main ingredients of ake ripe avocados and lime juice. But adding in the smoky adobo chili elevates it to something special. You might want to skip jalapeno and adobo chili if making for children. I love serving this with seriously easy Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas or these Instant Pot Chicken Fajitas that are so easy you can make them for dinner tonight. This homemade avocado dip is best made just before serving with a whole load of crunchy vegetables, tortilla chip and pita wedges. Or if you are like me, then just before adding to bacon sandwiches or huge juicy Air Fryer Burgers.

Make sure the avocados are ripe before mashing. If they are not ripe, then leave them on the counter for a few days till they are ripe. Unripe avocados will not mash enough for Guacamole.For the best dip – make sure to not puree the avocados completely. Some chunky pieces add texture. Use lemons if you don’t have limes and adjust the citrus flavor to your taste.To keep it low carb, make sure to serve with low carb chips.
