I add in diced tomatoes and onions, some corn, and cumin, chili powder, and garlic salt. I'm pretty sure it needs lime juice, but I never have any on hand.1

These all sound so good!0

2 avocados, juice of half a lime (and a little squirt of lemon to help the color stay greener), a handful of diced tomato, diced red onion, a minced clove of garlic, chopped cilantro, a tiny bit of cumin and sea salt........ Turns out perfect. Sorry. I don't measure foods when I cook. I am a pinch and handful Italian woman.0

I agree, the secret to a great guac is cumin! Fresh cilantro makes a big difference too. Fianlly, I prefer lime over lemon juice, but lemon is fine too.
Here's my recipe:
5 avocados
juice of 1 lime
2 roma tomatoes, diced (optional)
2 cloves garlic, minced
about 3-4 tablespoons fresh cilantro
1 tsp. cumin
kosher salt to taste
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. cayenne or other chile powder (I live in the SW so there's always a good selection of different local chile powders- experiment to see which you like best!)
Put everything in a bowl and gently mash to keep a chunky consistency. Add more lime juice to keep from browning. Should last in the fridge for 2-3 days.1 -
The chef at my favorite local restaurant swears by cumin but i don't care for it as much.
I'm with him/her. I think a little cumin makes all the difference!!
He is a pretty incredible chef. I think I am just used to "mine" now. Maybe I'll give it a try next time I make it.0 -

I absolutely love Guacamole!! Thanks for the great recipes. For those who are wondering about Cilantro, here's a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriander
I don't particularly care for the taste, but lots of people love it.0 -
I just got this recipe from my brother's girlfriend last weekend...
6 Avocados, mashed
2 limes, juiced
1/2 can of Rotel Hot Diced Tomatoes
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 envelope of hot guacamole mix
Red pepper flakes, to taste
Cilantro, to taste
Cumin, to taste
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Best if refrigerated overnight. I like to leave the avocados a little chunky, but you can mash them to whatever consistency you want. Makes a lot - if you have leftovers, be sure to squeeze a bit more lime juice on top so it doesn't turn brown.0 -
Avocado, sliced, still chunky
Diced tomato
Diced red onion
Cilantro
Drizzle of lime
Sea salt
Perfection.0 -
Mine's always different, depending on what's in the fridge - but I love chunking it up with finely diced tomatoes, peppers, garlic and onion - to a base of avocado with lime - oil rarely - cilantro usually - a dash of pepper or salt if you feel like it...well, you get the picture...Oh, and if you make it ahead and want it to stay green (and not turn brown) save the pit and put it in the bowl. Mother nature's magic!0
