Guacamole

[Lon]

After decades of refusing to eat anything that looked like it came out of a baby’s diaper, I finally tried guacamole earlier this year. And much to my surprise I really liked it. So I tried making my own this morning and it turned out pretty good. But I figured with all the southern folks on this forum, someone may have a better/different recipe than what I used.

I used:
- 2 avocados
- juice from one lime
- large jalapeño diced
- half an onion diced
- half a tomato diced
- cilantro
- salt

Anyone got a recipe they’d share?

The only thing I see missing is garlic....

I grew up eating the stuff, and if you think of guacamole as a bound salad, rather than a dip, the world is wide open. The avacado is really an amazing fruit.

I really enjoy guacamole. I've done varieties with black beans, corn, lime, garlic, onion, tomato, green/red/yellow peppers, etc that fits well as a dip or honestly almost as a stand alone snack. In the Philippines we would make shakes with fresh avocados that were pretty amazing. Another ingredient I don't see used very often is mangos. If you like a bit of sweet in your dip, you can dice mangos into small cubes and I think it adds a unique taste similar to adding it to a fresh salsa. Cilantro is also a good addition.

Really in summary the sky is the limit. I usually end up making something with avocados every week, and it rarely ends up the same.

You need to add fire, at the very least a touch of cayenne pepper. Season to taste.

EDIT: Oops, missed the jalapeño .

We eat avocado fairly often (just had a bunch last night). If you don't want to go the full guac route, mashed avocado goes really well on all things taco/flauta/torta/etc.:

Avocado, lime juice, salt, pepper, mash with a fork until smooth; spread a forkfull on a tortilla and add whatever else suits your fancy

That’s ok. Wasn’t really spicy. I like cayenne suggestion.

I think the cayenne powder blends in better.

Spice expedient shared with me is to add a tablespoon of salsa to the avocado/tomato/onion...works pretty well.

One nice thing about the Keto diet I’m on is I can eat this without feeling guilty. Now I just need to find a good Keto chip of some sort.
