    Ingredient Notes

    A picture of ingredients listed in pink needed to make guacamole including avocado, lime juice, jalapeño
    • Avocado: Full of healthy fats, avocados are nutritional powerhouses and so creamy and delicious! Of course, you'll want to make sure you have the perfectly ripe avocados for this recipe.
    • Lime juice: Fresh squeezed is best, but bottled will work in a pinch.
    • Red onion: Red onions have incredible antioxidant properties and lend a savory flavor to this dip.
    • Jalapeño: Jalapeño add a kick to this awesome guacamole - but feel free to adjust how much you use, depending on your spice preference.
    • Cilantro: Cilantro provides a fresh flavor to this dish, but feel free to skip it if you're one of those folks who doesn't like it.
    • Garlic: A tasty addition to this guacamole recipe, fresh minced is best, but jarred will work here, too.
    • Ground decarbed cannabis: This is an essential ingredient for a cannabis-infused delight! Click here to learn more about how to decarb, if needed.
    • Salt & Pepper: Feel free to adjust these two ingredients to taste.

    Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.

    Note: complete step-by-step printable instructions are located in the recipe card below.

    Storage Instructions

    You can store this recipe in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge, but it is best when enjoyed ASAP.

    Prolonged exposure to air will cause oxidation, or browning, of the ingredients.

    Alternate Cannabis Infusion Options

    As with all things edibles, there is more than one way to infuse something. Below we will explore all of the different ways you could infuse this recipe.

    The fresh cannabis fan leaf for garnish is optional.

    Ground, Decarbed Cannabis

    This is my preferred way to infuse this recipe. It's simple, it's easy, and it's effective.

    If this infusion method is new to you, you can learn more about using decarbed cannabis in edibles here. 

    You could also use decarbed kief here as well.

    And as you may know, cannabis is better absorbed when paired with fat (1). Thankfully, avocados are primarily fat, making this recipe a natural perfect fit.

    It is your choice whether or not you want to use THC-dominant, CBD-dominant, or CBG-dominant flower in this recipe. 

    I have both CBD flower and CBG flower available in my online shop if you need to purchase cannabis first.

    Just make sure you decarb according to the guidelines for each cannabinoid here.

    Cannabis-Infused Oil

    This is an optional ingredient in this recipe because I recommended the ground, decarbed cannabis first.

    If you want to skip that option and go straight for an oil, its a quick and easy way to infuse this recipe.

    With so many different types of cannabis oils to choose from, it's important to pick the one that's right for you.

    Recommended cannabis-infused oil options include:

    • Cannabis-infused olive oil
    • Cannabis-infused MCT oil
    • Homemade CBD oil
    • AVB (already been vaped) oil

    Leftover Cannabis Pulp

    Many people save the plant material left over from making infused oil or butter to use in recipes.

    Also known as leftover cannabis pulp, these leftovers still contain trace amounts of cannabinoids, making them a mild addition to any recipe.

    If you're going to add the pulp to infuse this recipe, add it as a separate ingredient and start with a small amount, maybe 2 tablespoons.

    Notes and Expert Tips

    • Fresh ingredients are ideal.
    • You can decarb the traditional way in the oven or in an Instant Pot.
    • This dip is best enjoyed chilled or room-temperature, not hot.
    • This guacamole is best when perfectly ripe avocados are used. A quick tip for picking a ripe avocado is to press against the outside of the avocado, and if you feel a bit of softness and give, it's likely perfect! On the other hand, too much give, it's likely overripe, and too little give means the avocado isn't ripe enough.
    • You can substitute hotter or milder chiles for the jalapeños.
    • Fold in a ½ cup of ¼ inch diced ripe tomatoes after completion for a tasty variation.
    • Add cut onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice to a food processor and pulse until broken down for silky smooth guacamole. Then add all other ingredients to the food processor and puree until smooth.
