Cinnamon Free Easy Vegan Guacamole
Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh flavor, this guacamole comes together in minutes with nothing more than a fork and a bowl. Ripe avocados get mashed with a generous squeeze of lime juice, then folded with crisp red onion, fiery jalapeño, and fragrant cilantro for a dip that tastes like it came straight from a taqueria. The lime juice does double duty here — it adds that essential tang while keeping the avocado beautifully green. You can go chunky or smooth depending on your mood, and the optional cumin adds a subtle earthy depth without overpowering the fresh ingredients. For anyone avoiding warming spices like cinnamon, this recipe is a natural fit — every ingredient is straightforward, and there's nothing hidden in the mix to second-guess. It's the kind of recipe you'll make on repeat all summer long, whether you're serving it with tortilla chips, spooning it over tacos, or eating it straight from the bowl.
