Handmade guacamole is amazing.
And so easy to make.

Everytime I bring some people rave about it and I'm like "bitch it only took me 15 minutes to make huehuehuehuehue".

EDIT : Am I the only one to add diced tomato (1 small tomato per 2 advocado) in my guac?

...hate me...
Making guacamole is exactly like making an avocado salad with specific ingredients, except the avocados will need to get mashed, which takes like a whole extra minute.

Mature advocado
1 juice from one lime
Cutted fresh coriander leaves
Black pepper powder
Diced red onions
Diced tomatos
Diced Italian green pepper
Jalapeño juice, like the one that you can find inside these cans (Hint: avoid adding the jalapeño itself to the guacamole, for it might overtake too much of the flavour)

There you go. Best guacamole recipe ever.

Indeed. Coriander is how it is said in English, right? Still, awesomesauce ingredient, would employ it extensively at any chance I have. El cilantro mola, chavales.

How quaint, guac looks and smells like healthy baby poo.


I prefer to call it devil herb. Avocado may be gross, but cilantro is NASTY.

I thought that you would be better than this, Funky Papa. You bring GREAT DISHONOR to our Spanish culinary
fusion
culture.

I still remember the day Chipotle served me a massive pork+rice burrito with heaps of cilantro.

Like Larkin Love going down on you only to take her dentures off midways.
 
Guac is amaazing. But the cheap shit from stores is nasty. And watch out because many redtaurangs cut their guac with mayo and the like.

Lime juice will stop it going brown.

I usually make it with finely diced red onion and jalapeños. Juice of a whole lime per 2 avocado will make it last at least two days, maybe more as it never escapes being eaten that long.

I randomly saw this article a few days ago on epicurious. It is relevant to the lime issue.

I can't vouch for whether it's good advice or not.

I don't like guacamole. Which is weird because I love avocado. But mushing them all up disagrees with me I guess.

My recipe:

2 Ripe Avocados
1 Small Red Onion (I think they taste better than a white onion in guac)
1 Fresh Jalapeño
2 Limes (Juice and Zest)
Salt and Black Pepper
Fresh Coriander Leaves (I sometimes leave this out)

I usually finely chop the onion and jalapeño by hand; then combine it with the avocado with a fork and add everything else to taste.

Not a fan of over-complicated guacamole recipes to be honest; the simpler, the better.
 
I've never had store bought but make it relatively often. I've seen it made a lot of different ways and tried lots of them but I usually leave out the corriander but do like finely diced tomato in it.

Keep it simple - avocado, red onion, lime juice, garlic, s&p and tomato. I don't know if it's authentic, but it's how I like it. Since there's dozens of recipes I figured it's that kind of thing, do it the way you like it.

Agree with J4g3r about red onion, white is too harsh raw.

Guacamole is freaking amazing. Homemade is my favorite.

My recipe if anyone wants it:

-large bowl
-3 or more ripe avocados
-2 fresh tomatoes, diced, drain any excess tomato juice before adding to bowl
-small handful of fresh cilantro leaves finely cut up
-(optional)1 quarter of a diced sweet Vidalia onion
-lime juice
-garlic powder
-salt and black pepper to taste
-stir that shit up to your desired consistency and enjoy.

tomatoes in my guacamole? blaspheme

avacados, a pinch of garlic, a pinch of onion, salt, and lime is all you need
 
You need to deseed them (or just squeeze out the juice) so they're not too watery but I love the taste and look of it with tomatoes in. Recommended :)

Anyone remember guacamole doritos? Those were good.

I miss those chips, sad that Costco stopped selling them =(.

My mom makes a pretty mean guac. She makes it with roasted tomatillos, ripe avocados, and a little but of lime in the mix.

Yo legit OP. I thought I hated guac up until a few months ago, turns out I just kept eating shitty guac.

Yup. I changed my mind when I had fancy table-side guac at a restaurant for the first time. They mixed it there with spices and vegetables right there and it was amazing.

I previously based my opinion off those nasty ice-cream scoops of green shit cheap eateries would give you with your Mexican food.

My recipe:

4 Hass Avocados
Bunch (handful) of cilantro
1 red onion diced
2 tomatoes deseeded and diced
1 jalapeño sliced
4 garlic cloves
2 limes juiced
Salt and pepper

Purée 2 avocados with cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, lime, and salt & pepper.
Take the other 2 avocados and cut them into smallish cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cubed avocados, tomatoes, onions, and puréed avocado.
Cover and place in a refrigerator for 2 hours.
 
I worked in a restaurant that had the whole tableside guac thing for a long time. Can't go back after that so good to make at home. Gotta be careful using red onions though really strong flavor that if you use too much can ruin the whole thing

I make my own guacamole, but I'm lazy, so I mash up 3 avocado, put a few heaping spoonfulls of salsa in there, some salt, black pepper, minced garlic, juice of a lime, chopped jalapeno, and a few dashes of Tapatio hot sauce. Put some plastic wrap RIGHT ON the stuff to keep it from browning, and toss in the fridge to chill and let the flavors mingle right up. My friends and family love it!

I hated it only because I thought it looked disgusting. The consistency just didn't come off as an appealing to the tongue. I eventually spotted a sampler bowl at a Bristol Farms a looong time ago and it was a smooth, buttery delicious chip dip. I now add it to everything that has avocado/guacamole as an extra option.

Chipotle and this local restaurant are the only commercial gauc I'll eat.
People do too much too gauc.
The simpler, the better

People who make it with sour cream and any pepper other than black and white are criminal.

That is the problem with store bought guacamole. They put lots of lime in there so it stays fresher. It shouldn't taste like eating a lime.

If you put in stuff like bacon and other non guacamole ingredients, you are wasting avocados to make a green shit.
 
I love guacamole - I make it pretty much every other week at least. I don't buy store bought but at least the one in the OP appears to actually be mostly avocado - most of them it's like the 15th ingredient down listed as "avocado powder".

I like it, but ... puréed? mash that mess with a fork, keeps it a little chunky.
