Mash a few avocados in a bowl and add your favorite salsa.

no, no, no!

dice avocados after removing skin and leave pits in the bowl
dice tomatos
dice onion
add ground garlic
top with cilantro


figure out the quantities based upon the # of hungry campers.....

edit: mix it all, add salt and lime to taste.

I know the guac served at stands are like how Shari describes but I prefer the more thick method like what Woody said. Still not sure if minced garlic belongs in a "traditional" guac.... maybe roast the garlic 1st to soften the sharp raw garlic taste. Its all good though!

Recipe for the perfect guacamole:

-Avocado
-Salt
-Onions
-Tomato
-Cilantro
-Touch of olive oil

Proper consistency:


You can add just about anything you want and its fine, except, NEVER! EVER! make watery guacamole. Only chilangos make that horrible mess, just don't do it.

yes I'm familiar with the chunky style. but was wondering how they made the creamy style served a taco stands. the kind that has the consistency of thick cream. is it really just water and salt in a blender?

you got it, kaybaj; just water and salt and aguacate...pretty simple, huh?.....THEN, for real guacamole, simply make salsa fresca out of tomatos, cilantro, jalepenos, and onions, mash up some avacados and add the salsa fresca till you like the consistancy...viola!!!....right, jesse???
