Most Guacamole recipes can be vague – half an onion, a clove of garlic, juice of a lime, salt to taste. This is okay, but when you’re making a big batch for a party, you want to get it pretty much right the first time. And if then, why not every time?
I bought 18 avocados at Sprouts today! Good sale and I needed them!
2 1/4 cup (10.5 oz) diced avocado (about 3 small avocados)
1/2 tsp green tabasco sauce (I like this in place of diced jalapeno)
2 TBSP lime juice
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 tsp fresh garlic, minced
2 TBSP (1.5 oz) diced red onion
1/4 C chopped cilantro
Mash with potato masher two avocados with tabasco, lime juice, cumin, sea salt and garlic. Give it a good stir to make sure seasonings are well incorporated, then fold in remaining avocado, onion and cilantro. Refrigerate for at least 30 min before serving.
If you are in the mood for improvisation, a scoop of sour cream works great to prevent browning. Also diced roma tomato can be added.
Emergency Guac:
When I’m in a hurry I’ll mash two avocados with the juice of half a lime, 1/2 tsp garlic salt and a few shakes of green tabasco. Pretty tasty and fast but not what I want to take to a party.
