Guacamole with Tortilla Chips
by NigellaIntroduction
This guacamole doesn’t include tomatoes. It makes such a difference: it’s fresh and sharp, a perfect buttery-yellow and jade clay. You can do some chopping in advance, but the actual avocado mixture must be made at the last minute, to ensure it keeps its colour.

Show more commentsI'm never getting store-bought guacamole again. This recipe is so simple and tastes so clean. I added some smoked paprika and a little cayenne. oh so good!!
Great guacamoles are always very simple and this recipe is exactly that! I like to keep the avocado quite chunky and add ground coriander and cumin. I always make sure it stays at room temperature for 1-2 hours before serving too!
