    Whatever you do dont put mayo, greek yogurt or sour cream into it.


    Simple easy peasy:
    Soft avocado.
    cut it lengthwise give it a twist and pull apart the halves. Pull out the pit. Scoop out meat.
    Lime
    Garlic powder
    Onion powder
    Salsa


    Yum!

    Mine is very very basic.

    Ripe avacado (1-2 avacados)
    Fresh Lime juice (1/2 a lime)
    garlic powder (to taste) (1/8-1/4 tsp? - not sure never really measured just put a few dashes/sprinkles)
    Season all (or Lawry's Seasoned Salt) (to taste) (1/8-1/4 tsp? - not sure never really measured just put a few dashes/sprinkles)
    A dash of tabasco (optional - if you like a bit of heat)

    Mash up the avacado, add the lime, seaoned salt, garlic powder, stir and enjoy!

    i use avocado and whatever of the following i have on hand

    lemon juice AND/OR tomatoes (you need an acid to reduce browning)
    any or all of: garlic, onion, green onion, cilantro, jalapeno
    salt to taste.

    mush together to desired consistency. I like to let it sit in the fridge for a few hours

    This is mine:

    avocado
    garlic powder to taste
    tomatoes
    red onion
    lime juice to taste

    I'm sure you can use whatever you want - this is what I have found to be my fave and not taste like grass. :smile:

    I use organic avocado, organic lemon juice, and organic garlic or organic garlic powder, and organic tomatoes. I squish them together, and they are divine! Reminds me I should make some nice crispy tofu and eat it together...hhmmm. Thanks for the reminder!

    Thank you all! I'm making a "Chipotle" inspired pork dinner, and guacamole makes the meal so thank you for your recipes! :smile:

    Alton Brown's recipe is my absolute favorite. The ingredients are things you may have around the house, but maybe not, so hopefully this will work for you:

    Avocado, Cumin, Cayenne Pepper, clove of garlic, tomatoes, lime, salt, and onion. I skip the onion and you could easily skip the tomato. If you want the ratio just google his recipe.

    a few avocadoes
    fresh lemon or lime juice ( for flavor & to avoid browning)
    salt

    optional - diced tomato-seeds removed
    optional - diced onion

    and don't mix it too much. Leave it chunky. :-)

    My Kroger store sells ready-made pico de gallo in the produce department. I just mix a container of that with one or two avocados if I don't have a lot of time.

    P.S. They also have guacamole seasoning packets where you would find taco seasoning and such. Just add avocados.

    You can go as simply as mashed avocado with lime juice and salt to taste. This is often how I make if all I have is avocado and lime.

    I prefer it with some finely diced onion, tomato, and jalapeno topped with cilantro but I like almost all guacamole. Unless it's made with one of those seasoning packets; then it's not so good.

    this is not a short list.

    Haas avocados
    roma tomatoes
    green onion
    fresh lime juice
    cilantro ( torn )
    sea salt and large blk pepper flakes
    chopped jalapeno

    optional: 4 slices ( or more ) real bacon chopped in and 1 or 2 T. of Sour cream mixed with the lime juice.

    for a short list. got to avocado, tomato, onion and lime juice. ( or a really go Salsa )

    I agree with this. Think about what you see in most fancy guacamole recipes. It's mostly the same ingredients that are already in salsa, like tomatoes, onions, red pepper, etc! Use a chunky salsa for best results. You can mash the avocado with a fork and have guacamole in 1 minute.

    The only other thing I would add is some lemon or lime juice, since the tartness adds an extra layer of flavor and it prevents the avocado from oxidizing (turning brown) so quickly.

    I like just avocado, red onion, garlic powder, and cumin.I do not put lime or lemon in it. I do not care for that taste, and usually eat what I make at the same time.

    Here in Mexico most people make guacamole with avocados, onion, cilantro and lime juice and maybe a bit of salt and pepper.
    The guacamole in tourist places is much fancier....lol.

    La Victoria "Hot" salsa
    Salt
    Pepper

    Easy!

    (Sometimes I add a little garlic and onion powder, if I want to get fancy)

    This would be my suggestion to make it easy. Good luck on your dinner, hope it turns out well.

    If you wanted to go all out and break your back making a guacamole totally from scratch it would just be my fave standby
    2 avocados
    2 roma tomatoes
    1/2 chopped spanish onion
    fresh cilantro to taste
    fresh jalapeno's one or two
    fresh lime juice
    ground sea salt
    freshly cracked black pepper

    but we have these things lying around all the time so it's easy. I wouldn't go out shopping for everything at the last minute. If I were throwing together a dinner and wanted to limit my time and budget and didn't already have all these ingredients handy or the tools to chop em up fast, Molly's recipe sounds so yummy. And I know that salsa is good and would make your guacamole yummy.

    I think I'm going to make mine with two avocados, diced tomatoes which have garlic and onion seasoning, lemon juice (I only have a lemon), a bit of garlic powder, salt, and pepper. I hope it tastes good! I'm obsessed with Chipotle so I wanted to make my own version.
