This is my husband’s recipe for guacamole. It’s his prized recipe. I’m exploiting it. He’s not Mexican, but it’s better than guacamole from Mexico. Everyone loves it, including Mexicans. We eat bowls and bowls of it. It’s wonderful. Serves 6.
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe avocados
- 8 oz. Jack’s Special Salsa (whatever flavor you wish, we use mild or medium)
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- juice of 1 lime
- salt
Directions:
- In food processor, blend avocados, salsa, and onion together. Pour into bowl.
- Stir in lime juice, and add salt to taste. Serve with tortilla chips.
* Guacamole will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days if well sealed in container.
What a beautiful site. I eat avocados all the time but never make guacomole. You’ve inspired me. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment! You can use whatever fresh (not canned) salsa you have at your local grocery store or make that too!
Very simple-I love salsa w/ avocado and it’s nice, quick and simple. However, sometimes I forget that I’ve devoured all the salsa in the house and OMG, my avocados have suddenly went from bricks to softened ripe perfection- I use the following ingredients to make a satisfying guacamole.
(1) avocado
(1/8 cup) diced red onion
(1 tsp) lemon juice (I would prefer lime, but never have any on hand)
dash of cumin
moderate amt. of cilantro (depends on if you use fresh or dried)
1/4 tsp bottled garlic
tiny weenie dash of salt.
Mash in bowl with potato masher.
