A 4 ingredient guacamole that gets is right every time, thanks to a *Secret Ingredient* that gives great flavor and as a bonus, keeps the guacamole from turning brown quickly.
Best Ever Guacamole
Perfect for snacking or an easy & delicious add to any Taco Tuesday!
We are big fans of guacamole (I mean who isn’t?) and make it quite often but I have always struggled with the right balance of lime or lemon, tomatoes, onions, cilantro and the like. Anyone with me?
I mean there are so many variations of guacamole and quite honestly, I’ve never met a guacamole I didn’t like.
Then a friend introduced us to this one with her secret ingredient and we’ve been hooked ever since!
The secret to this recipe? BANANA PEPPERS?! (aka Pepperoncini)
It’s a game changer.
It takes away the need for so many spices, limes, lemons or onions, and adds The. Best. Flavor!
Bonus: The juice from the banana peppers has some distilled vinegar and helps the guacamole from changing color and browning. Seriously, this guacamole holds its color better than any we’ve ever made.
What you need…. avocados, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, salt, pepper and jarred Banana Peppers!
So add a little zing to your guacamole and try this 4 ingredient guacamole. It works every time and it’s SO yummy! A total crowd pleaser!
Perfect for snacking or an easy and delicious add to any Taco Tuesday!
Hope you love it as much as we do!
