  • 1/2 seasoning salt
  • 1/2 chili powder

  2. Mix well.

  3. Cover and chill thoroughly.

Cook's notes

  • Use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the creamiest texture.
  • Adjust the chili powder to your heat preference—add more for extra spice or omit for a milder dip.
  • For best flavor, let the guacamole chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Frequently asked

Can I use lime juice instead of lemon?

Yes, lime juice is a classic substitute and adds a slightly different citrus note that pairs beautifully with avocado.

What if I don't have seasoning salt?

You can replace it with regular salt plus a pinch of garlic powder and onion powder.

How can I keep guacamole from turning brown?

Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to minimize air exposure, or add a thin layer of lemon juice on top before sealing.
