Linguine decided to make a video for her niece on how to make a quick guacamole. Hearing her talk to herself in the kitchen, I had to investigate
which explains my cameo appearance.

I agree you but garlic doesn't agree with her and if I eat garlic I have to sleep alone.Maria - 9-19-2008 at 05:36 PM
Here's my recipe. People seem to like it. There's never any left.
6 ripe avacados smashed but chunky
1 cup La Victoria salsa mild (without cilantro)
two chopped fresh tomatoes
garlic powder
salt
pepper
Pour over the avacado seeds to keep it fresh.
lemon on top to keep it green
I don't use cilantro because I hate cilantro. I'm not big on spicy either.bajabound2005 - 9-19-2008 at 06:11 PM
use REAL garlic, add a tablespoon or 2 of mayo or sour cream...salsa from jar? NOT IN MY GUAC! A little tabasco (or reasonable fac simile), Si!Lindalou - 9-19-2008 at 07:02 PM
fresh is good, but you still need the garlic salt for the right taste. You can add both.Sunman - 9-19-2008 at 07:31 PM
Avo
Onion
Cilantro
Jalapeno/Serrano

I used to feel that way until I had some guacamole at a friend's house (who is Mexican...and the family has a Mexican restaurant). I raved about the
guacamole and she told me that her secret is Pace salsa from a jar.
Don't knock it until you try it! bajaboolie - 9-23-2008 at 10:14 AM
BMG--enjoyed the video! It's fun to put a face and personality to a user name.
Note to self.....

I am not crazy about the guacamole served in many Mexican restaurants, the kind made in a blender and it comes out like green soup. We always make
our guacamole thick and chunky.Cypress - 9-23-2008 at 10:31 AM
yea, thick and chunky!!

I'll bring the chips.
Linguine likes garlic but it doesn't agree with her. I love it and would probably eat it everyday if it was up to me. (Note: I also have an aversion
to sleeping alone when I have garlic breath.)
The cilantro is also added to her recipe in small quantities with more on the side because I love the stuff. She, on the other hand, doesn't care much
for it except in limited amounts. Heard from a friend not too long ago that cilantro tastes like soap to a relatively large (he said 20%) number of
people. As for me, the more the better.bajaboolie - 9-24-2008 at 05:58 PM
Just ate my guacamole...mashed up (with chunks), lime juice, Pace salsa & salt. It was delicious!
When I have it on hand, I use fresh tomatoes and green onions, but Pace is awesome, too. Especially when I just want a quick fix.Russ - 9-24-2008 at 06:45 PM
comitan ~~~ PERFECT ~~!!!!
The perfect guack
Sharksbaja - 9-24-2008 at 09:06 PM
Has most of the elements described above. What I've noticed that what seems to vary most are the onion and garlic ingredients.
Those two ingredients along with cilantro can make or break a great guack. One must take care to preserve the nutty and subtle flavor of the avocado.
Too much salt or adding salsa, pepper, lemon, lime or sour cream can have dire effects on the finished product.
Here is my simple recipe:
4 Hass avocados
1 tbs yellow onion PUREED
2 cloves garlic PUREED
2 roma or sm tomatoes DICED
1 pinch fresh cilantro CHOPPED (optional)
Pinch of good salt
Pinch of black pepper
Add all ingredients but tomatoes to bowl and mash till you get your desired consistency. Carefully add salt to taste if necessary.
Gently stir in tomatoes and chill.
edit:
Never EVER use powdered garlic or onion> It is sacrilege and makes you real stinky!
GREEN
salsa?
stuff!
