My Guacamole Recipe

[eronn_actually]

It's very simple, but I've never met a single person (minus those who don't like avocado) who didn't rave about this guac.  I use:

 

-3 to 4 ripe avocados if it's for a group

-A pint or less of grape tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise

-A small onion, chopped into small pieces

-Fresh lime juice (this is the ingredient that varies the most - sometimes I use one lime, sometimes I need more)

-Fresh cilantro, chopped

-Salt and pepper to taste

-Cumin to taste

-Crystal hot sauce (I looked at the label, and it's completely compliant)

 

I don't use specific amounts, just put it all together, taste and add more of what I think is missing.  I think the hot sauce is what really gives it a great flavor, and as long as you don't pour on too much, it still won't be spicy.  It's great by itself, but also yummy with fajita veggies and the like.

mine is similar too - I add fresh chilli (usually deseeded) instead of sauce, and don't always add tomato do you use normal onion, or red/Spanish?

 

I've been loving this on chilli, and even on my eggs in the morning

I use normal onion, although sometimes I'll go wild and use a vidalia onion.

 

I like keeping the tomatoes in bigger pieces because if anyone doesn't like them, they can easily work around them and still enjoy the guac.  Whereas if you do chop them smaller, it's harder to avoid.

vidalia onion? off to look that one up...

 

(just googled...pretty sure im never going to eat one of those! haha)

Oh, they're just the bigger, slightly sweeter onions.  They're super-great grilled, but I sometimes use them when I'm cooking as well.
