The ideal summer ingredients taste fresh like a perfectly ripe avocado. Paired with the spicy kick of jalapeño peppers, citrusy tartness of lime, and the earthy warmness of cumin and chili powder the elemental flavors of guacamole is the essence of warm weather’s bounty.

Guacamole is a versatile dish as well complimenting warm weather meals as a side dish with tortilla chips or as a topping on a salad, tacos, sandwiches, or even pizza!
