Easy and Authentic Mexican Guacamole / Avocado Dip image

A tasty dip that is a success at any party. I got this recipe from a friend from Mexico. Easy to make!

Categories     Sauces

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 ripe avocados (ripe as in really dark in color and slightly soft when squeezed)
1 small onion, finely diced
1 medium tomatoes, diced
1 lime (juice of )
salt and pepper (to taste )
Tabasco sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Take avocados and cut into and around the circumference of the avocado's pit.
  • With both hands twist the two halves in opposite directions and pull apart.
  • Remove the pit with a knife or a spoon.
  • Carve out the flesh of the avocado with a tablespoon.
  • Place avocados into a medium bowl and mash and stir until moderately creamy. I use a fork or a pastry blender.
  • Some people like the avocados more chunky than others-- either way it tastes great.
  • Add diced onion and tomatoes to the avocados.
  • Add salt, pepper, tabasco sauce and lime juice and taste to see if seasoned enough to your liking.
  • In a separate small bowl put in 2 tablespoons of the dip.
  • Add 1 tbsp of sour cream and adjust your seasonings again.
  • Taste it and decide if you prefer your guacamole with or without sour cream.
  • If you like with sour cream add 4 tablespoons or more to the avocado mixture and adjust your seasonings again.
  • If not, do nothing and leave it like it is.
  • Serve chilled with chips or add a little to your taco salad, tacos or fajitas.

THE BEST GUACAMOLE



The Best Guacamole image

Simple ingredients in perfect proportion make a this dip a crowd-pleasing favorite for any event. We decided not to use tomato in ours -- it makes the guac watery -- and included both onion and garlic for extra zip. A healthy dose of fresh lime juice balances and brightens the flavors.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 small red onion, diced small
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
4 ripe Hass avocados
1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 jalapeno, minced (seeds and membranes included if you prefer heat or removed for a milder version)
1 clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup finely chopped)
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the diced onion into a small strainer and rinse under cold running water. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with 1 cup cold water. Stir in the vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the avocado. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until creamy with some chunks remaining. Drain the onions well and add to the bowl, along with the jalapeno, garlic, salt and cilantro. Stir to combine.
  • Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Or press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the guacamole to prevent discoloration and refrigerate until ready to serve.

tortilla chips, to serve

Steps:

GUACAMOLE - REAL AUTHENTIC MEXICAN "GUAC"



Guacamole - Real Authentic Mexican

I am surprised how difficult it is to find a genuine guacamole recipe. No need for mayo or sour cream or all the other additives. This is the original, handed down generations, yet the most simple basic way to make Guacamole. I even make it better than my Mother in Law, which is a hard act to follow. :) Make this recipe and you will never go back. Hope you enjoy this like all my friends and family do.

salt
finely chopped fresh jalapeno (optional)

DEEP-FRIED BEEF CHIMICHANGAS WITH GUACAMOLE



Deep-Fried Beef Chimichangas with Guacamole image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 12 chimichangas

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 ripe avocados
1 large red onion, diced
2 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed and chopped (use gloves to handle these)
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (1 or 2 limes depending on size)
3 ripe tomatoes, seeds removed and diced
3 cloves garlic, roughly diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 large flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 liter vegetable or canola oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, sliced
3 pounds ground beef
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons celery salt
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Slice each avocado in half lengthwise, pop out seed and slip off the skin. Smash the avocado in a bowl and add onion, chiles, cilantro, lime juice, tomatoes, and garlic and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and let sit in refrigerator for a couple of hours to allow flavors to combine.
  • Lay out tortillas and sprinkle about 1/8 cup cheese on each. Begin heating vegetable oil to 350 degrees F in deep-fryer.
  • In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat and saute onion until translucent. To this pan, add ground beef, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, celery salt, and salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Divide meat mixture into equal amounts in the pan. Then using a slotted spoon to leave excess liquid behind, transfer meat mixture to the center of each tortilla and fold the tortilla into a closed packet and secure using a wooden skewer or round toothpicks. Deep fry chimichangas until golden brown. (Alternatively, you can skip the deep frying step altogether by arranging the chimichanga packets on a baking sheet and bake until cheese melts and tortillas begin to firm up, about 5 to 10 minutes in a preheated 350 degrees F oven.) Remove skewers/toothpicks before serving.

CLASSIC GUACAMOLE



Classic Guacamole image

Avocados are native to Mexico, where they are used as more than just an ingredient in a chip dip. Here I'll show you three stages of making guacamole, from the most simple and delicious version to an elegant dip to serve your guests.

Provided by Rick Bayless

Categories     appetizer

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 avocados
kosher salt
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon lime juice, plus more to taste; preferably from fresh limes
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped, plus a little extra for garnish
1/2 serrano pepper, or 1 jalapeño
1/2 plum tomato
1/4 white onion

Steps:

  • Cut around each avocado lengthwise, then twist the two halves apart. Remove the pit and scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocados (preferably with an old-fashioned potato masher) into a coarse purée. Season the purée with salt, about 1 teaspoon. Mince the clove of garlic. Sprinkle the minced garlic with a little salt, and mash with the side of your knife into coarse paste.
  • Fold in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.
  • Mince the green chile and add the desired amount to the bowl. Chop the tomato and add to the bowl. Mince the onion (you should have about a third of a cup) and rinse under cold running water in a small mesh strainer. Shake off the excess water, and mix into the avocado.
  • If you aren't serving the guacamole immediately, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate. For best results, make the guacamole within 2 hours of serving and serve in batches.

HALIBUT FISH TACOS WITH GUACAMOLE SAUCE



Halibut Fish Tacos with Guacamole Sauce image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings, 3 fish tacos each

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 pieces fresh halibut, steak or filets, 6 to 8 ounces each
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and pepper
1 lime, juiced
3 small to medium ripe Haas avocados, pitted and scooped from skins with a large spoon
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, eyeball it
1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon coarse salt, eyeball it
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
1 heart Romaine lettuce
12 soft (6-inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan or indoor grill to high heat or, prepare outdoor grill. Drizzle halibut with extra-virgin olive oil to keep fish from sticking to the grill pan or grill. Season fish with salt and pepper, to your taste. Roll lime on the counter top to get juices flowing. Also, any under ripe citrus may be placed in a microwave oven for 10 seconds at high setting to induce the juices to flow. Grill fish 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until opaque. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime down over the fish and remove from the grill pan or grill. Flake fish into large chunks with a fork.
  • While fish is cooking, in a blender or food processor, combine avocado flesh, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, yogurt and salt. Process guacamole sauce until smooth. Remove guacamole sauce to a bowl and stir in diced tomatoes and chopped scallions. Shred lettuce and reserve.
  • When fish comes off the grill pan or grill, blister and heat soft taco wraps. To assemble, break up fish and pile some of the meat into soft shells and slather with guacamole sauce. Top with shredded lettuce, fold tacos over and eat!
