😍Why You’ll Love It

  • Only 3 ingredients – Simple, fresh, and no extra fuss.
  • Big flavor, minimal effort – Creole seasoning brings a bold twist.
  • Perfect for everything – Tacos, chips, burgers, sandwiches, and more.
  • Ready in 5 minutes – No blending, no chopping, just mash and mix!

👨‍🍳Helpful Tips

  • Ripe avocados? They should feel slightly soft when you gently press them with your fingers.
  • Want more flavor? Add minced garlic, a little onion, or extra lime.
  • Too thick? A small splash of water or more lime juice helps smooth it out.

✅What You’ll Need

🥑 Avocados – Make sure they’re ripe for the creamiest texture.
🍋 Lime Juice – Adds freshness and keeps the guac from browning.
🌶️ Creole Seasoning – Brings a savory, slightly spicy kick. Can’t find it? Skip it and just use salt to taste.

🔪How to Make 3 Ingredient Guacamole

This is an overview with step-by-step photos. Full ingredients & instructions are in the recipe card below.

Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

Mash to your desired consistency using a fork or mortar and pestle.

Add lime juice and Creole seasoning. Stir until combined.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately!

✨Substitutions and Variations

  • No Creole seasoning? Swap with Cajun seasoning or a mix of salt, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Prefer a classic guac? Add diced tomatoes, cilantro, or chopped onions.
  • Like it spicy? Throw in some chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne.

🍽️What to Serve with Guacamole

This 3-ingredient guac is perfect with tortilla chips, as a taco topping, or spread onto sandwiches and wraps. Try it with our Chicken Burrito Casserole or Easy Taco Casserole!

🗄️Leftovers and Storage

    It is a total game-changer! I threw it together in minutes, and it was so fresh and flavorful. The lime adds the perfect tang, and the Creole seasoning gives it just the right kick. I’ll never buy store-bought guac again!
