I think that's about it. Mostly just load up my mortar and pestle with guac stuff and mash it all together.

Avocado, red onion, jalapenos (with seeds), cilantro, and salt + pepper to taste.

Anybody who puts tomatoes in guacamole should be publicly executed.

Will never understand how people manage to ruin a simple, 5 ingredient recipe. Guac is avocado, salt + pepper, lime, and cilantro. Nothing else. If you're putting tomato or onion in it, just kill yourself.

[Anonymous No.5665879]

>>5665860
No its not. Honest to god. I started doing it about a year ago because i was out of lime at the time. Bstm fucking "mistake" i ever made. It tastes sooo much better/brighter. Lime is just weighing down a lot of guacamoles and stopping them from being all they could be.

I just crush up some avacado, add a little bit of onion(like a tiny bit) and tomato, a bit of cumin, black pepper, and some lemon juice. Its simple, and its the best.

You are just digging your hole deeper and confirming your bad taste. I've used lemon when I had no lime and I would never do it again.

Methinks you own a lemon orchard!

No its not. Actually who gives a fuck what you put as long as you don't add milk or sour cream, then it becomes something else.

I like to put bacon in my guacamole if I wanted a smoky flavor in the dish. tastes good man

Unfortunately OP., that's not guacamole in the picture, that's more of a tomato salad (picadillo) with macerated avocados. Guacamole as the name implies (Guaca= avocados [testicles in Nahuatl from āhuacatl] + mole = sauce [from molli in Nahuatl]) is a sauce like any other mole, the thing giving it the thickness being the avocado as opposed to roasted peanuts, sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds and many other seeds. Therefore the recipe for guacamole is like the ones some Anons have already posted:

Avocado
Onion (white or red/purple)
Garlic
Cilantro
Chile (either Jalapeño or Serrano)
Salt
Lime (optional)

I don't have the ratios at the moment, but you will need a lot of cilantro. You put them all in the blender until it becomes a thick rich sauce similar in consistency to crème fraîche. I have seen the macerated avocado dip (avocado, onions, garlic macerated together then chopped cilantro in it sometimes) but not made in a molcajete, like in your picture. You don't make avocados in a molcajete that would just be a big mess, unecessary and a bitch to clean up, no self-respecting person serves it like that it's stupid. So what's in your picture is not technically a mole. The stuff Americans call "Guac" or guacamole isn't a guacamole, it's a tomato salad with chopped/macerated avocados and that's the one in your picture, in which the onion and tomatoes and cilantro are chopped and mixed in with the squished avocados. Sorry if I was redundant is just that whenever I see threads like these, people get into arguments especially with the tomato thing. They however never bother to define exactly what they're talking about; be it the sauce, salad, dip or salsa.

Also please stop calling it "guac" that's such an ugly word and it sounds Asian like if one is saying "wok." I have yet to figure out what "guac" means, it sounds like something a hipster from chipotle restaurant made up.

guacamole is avocado and salt.
neither of the two things you are making is guacamole.

you've got mashed avocado and avocado flavoured mayo.

[Anonymous No.5668726]

avocado, salt, pepper, french salad dressing

works like a charm

[Anonymous No.5668734]

>>5668658
Yes a blender is necessary to give it that creamy consitency. There are some that prefer it a bit thicker but it depends on your application. For the most part the guacamole is used like a cream sauce hence the name "mole" I emphasized. The most common dish it is used for is probably flautas, you can look up images of "flautas con guacamole" and you will see what I mean. For other applications for example tacos de carne asada the sauce would be too runny so it's usually mixed with macerated avocados to make it a bit thicker, more like a paste. But it depends on the particular person's preference to the texture they want. Like in the following pictures:

On a tostada:

Carne Asada tacos:

Macerated with tomatoes on Asada Tacos:
https://s3-media3.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/6pvAkveFkeuHyRNWWq81bA/l.jpg

Aside from the texture, it will have a different flavour profile than just the chopped and macerated one in OP.'s picture, because of the garlic, onion, cilantro and chile already in it.

So that is what "guac" is? Sounds disgusting to be honest, like something Honey Boo Boo's mom would make. Adding fat to an already fatty fruit.

[Anonymous No.5669246]

Avocados, garlic powder, salt

Lime juice over the top only to prevent oxidation

Everything else is optional. I add chopped tomatoes.

[Anonymous No.5669252]

avacados, cayenne pepper, lemon, onion ,garlic

I posted this in the last guacamole thread, but I'll post it again. Simple is best when it comes to guacamole. This is how I make it, which is how they made it in Mexico when we used to vacation there years ago.
>however many avocados you want
>key lime juice to taste (I usually use about 2 per 4 avocados)
>salt to taste
>1 minced serrano pepper (or more to taste)
>handful of cilantro, chopped (optional, but delicious)

So simple, so refreshing, that's all it needs to be amazing.

That's about as well stated as anything I've seen on this board.

I've eaten guacamole all over Texas, much of New Mexico, and some of Oklahoma and I have never encountered anyone calling anything that resembled OP's picture "guacamole".

This is the only correct answer

[Anonymous No.5669327]

>>5669265
It is missing onion, and garlic.2 limes to 4 avocados is excessive lime juice, unless you're using some huge monster avocados. You mention minced and chopped vegetables, but no process for the avocados. It sounds more like a dip than a mole.

[Anonymous No.5671518]

>>5665879
The flavour of lime is easily my favourite part of guacamole. Plus it stops it going brown if you don't use it all. Mine is:

2 avocados
1 tbsp finely chopped coriander (1tbsp after it's chopped not before)
1/3 red onion, diced
2 serrano chillis, deseeded and diced
salt+pepper
juice of half a lime or more
about half a decent sized tomato, finely chopped

>>5669327
Its not missing anything. It doesn't need onions or garlic. Those muddy up the perfect flavor. Other than the serrano, it needs no other vegetables added. 2 key limes is the perfect amount of lime juice for 4 large avocados, obviously you would adjust the amount based on the size and number of avocados you have. Perhaps you are thinking of persian limes, not key limes.

No you fucking faggot. Guac is avocado, salt and pepper, lime, cilantro, diced roasted serrano, and diced roasted garlic.

Without the last two you may as well just eat a fucking avocado.

[Anonymous No.5673795]

>>5671561
It doesn't need onion or garlic because they "muddy" up the flavour but the chile, lime, and cilantro don't? We only use "key limes" in México, I don't know about "Persian limes." You again didn't mention how you process the avocado, I think you're just making a dip and calling it guacamole.

[Anonymous No.5673826]

Here's a different take
bretty gud

>Sautee a cup of corn kernels in a small pan with butter, black pepper and cumin (or chile powder) until brown around the edges and caramelized
>dice two avocados into small chunks
>dice a tomato into small chunks
>roughly chop a handful of pickled jalapenos
>toss all the ingredients together in a bowl with a thick, sweet bbq sauce, add more chili powder and some chopped cilantro

Serve with tortilla chips. Salt if needed
