This simple Guacamole is the easiest way to whip up a creamy, flavorful guacamole in minutes! My absolute favorite way to make guac with a food processor, it blends everything evenly without any chunks of avocado or onion. I always end up having a smooth yet a little chunky guacamole every single time!

How to Make Guacamole in a Food Processor
Combine everything and blend : Prepare all your ingredients, 2 ripe avocados, 1/2 red onion, 1/2 jalapeño, 1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, 3 tablespoons lime juice and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
Throw them in the food processor and pulse until desired consistency. There’s no right or wrong here!

How to Store
Refrigerate any leftover guacamole in an airtight container for 2-4 days. Spray the surface of the guac with lemon juice before sealing. It helps to prevent the guacamole from turning black.
Serving Suggestions
Guacamole is a perfect dip with my Garlic Parmesan Tortilla Chips and Tequila Lime Tortilla Chips for a fancy appetizer! I love using it to top my Chicken Enchiladas or add a dollop to Beef Tortilla Soup for extra creaminess.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
