Hey, y'all! A good bowl of Chunky Guacamole is hard to beat. Made with ripe avocados, fresh tomatoes, crisp red onion, garlic, and a little kick from pickled jalapeños and Tabasco, this homemade version is packed with fresh flavor and comes together in just minutes.
Chunky Guacamole
What I love most about this recipe is its texture. Instead of mashing everything until it's completely smooth, the avocados stay nice and chunky so every bite has plenty of fresh ingredients. Serve it with tortilla chips, spoon it onto tacos, pile it on burgers, or add it to your favorite burrito bowl. It's one of those recipes that's simple enough for a weeknight but always feels right at home at parties, cookouts, and game day gatherings.

Pro Tips For Making This Recipe
- Use ripe avocados that give slightly when gently squeezed for the creamiest texture.
- Fold the ingredients together gently to keep the guacamole chunky.
- Add the lime juice as soon as the avocados are cut to help slow browning.
- For extra heat, stir in fresh jalapeños or add a few more dashes of Tabasco.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating to help keep the guacamole green.
