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.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

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.

THE BEST GUACAMOLE IN THE WORLD

The Best Guacamole In The World image

This is the best guacamole I have ever tasted and when I make it everyone loves it. I do not go by a recipe. Everything is pretty much to taste so I hope I figured this recipe pretty well. Also, I do not add salt to mine but everyone else that I know would rather have it salted.

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

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.

The real trick to great guacamole is to use good avocados. Make sure your avocados are ripe and of the Haas variety! Serve this dip with corn chips, or an array of fresh vegetables.
