This is one of our favorite spicy snack food recipes, and it's quick and easy to prepare when friends drop by on short notice. It also makes a great side dish for a complete Southwestern-style meal. Mild or sweet peppers can be substituted for the chilies for those who like their guacamole a little less spicy. —Anne Tipps, Duncanville, Texas

Keep Guacamole Fresh

I like to make guacamole ahead of time for my favorite chicken quesadillas. I’ve found that if the avocado pit is added to the guacamole and the dish is covered, the guacamole retains its pretty, green color. —Pam Ubl, Coon Rapids, Minnesota

My husband said it was the best guacamole he has ever had.

This was my first time making it.

very good but kind of watery, I wish I could make it thicker somehow

We really like this recipe. We made it as given and also made it without the chiles and garlic so it was extra mild for our children. Not a bit of either was left over!
