Remember when I taught you how to create these two beautiful avocado halves? Now I am going to teach you how to make the best guacamole in the whole wide world (according to Mr. Mace) using these little beauties. You're so lucky.
I truly believe my secret to this guacamole is simply omitting the lime juice. GASP! I know, I know. But lime juice keeps it from turning brown! I hear you whining. And I don't care. How can I be so insensitive?

I have faith. I have faith that you will will cross-over to the non-lime-juice-dark-side. And this is why: there won't be any leftovers to turn brown. Oh yeah, and who cares if it turns brown? It won't kill you to eat brown guacamole. It still tastes good, its just brown. So, give it some love, give it a good stir to hide the brown and then - wah-la! Beautiful again.
This guacamole doubles, triples, quadruples...very easily so its great for parties. Use avocados that are slightly soft when pressed with your finger, but not mushy. Oh...you're gonna love this. Enjoy!
Good Old Guacamole (without the twist)
1 Avocado, halved, pitted and roughly chopped
Handful Onion, chopped
1 Garlic Clove
Sprinkle of Garlic Powder, to taste
Salt, to taste
Handful Tomato, chopped
Mash the avocado with a fork until your desired consistency for guacamole. Stir in onion, garlic, garlic powder and salt. At this point, taste the guacamole and season to your liking.
Gently stir in the tomatoes and...
Eat it!
This is awesome. I am SO weak when it comes to guac! Love it! Simple!
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny as it wasn't until recently I finally started adding the lime juice lol! I used to always make it without and yours sounds fabulous! But after going to Mexico a few times and every eater in LA hubby asked me if I would put it in as that's how he enjoys it. Like ou it never lasted long enough to matter for browning purposes he just likes the taste. I would however prefer yours I am sure!
ReplyDeleteThis looks perfect - guacamole really doesn't need any fancy twists, it's just perfect the way it is :)
ReplyDeleteWhat Kiri said ... Looks like I've gone back to my childhood of eating Tex-Mex every Wednesday night at Lupe's Mexican Restaurant. (It was the $1.99 cheese enchilada special.)
ReplyDeleteHahaha I love that picture of your little girl! I don't think I had a taste for guacamole at her age, so props to her! This looks so creamy and delicious. I'm glad there's no lime juice. I'm not a huge citrus fan.
ReplyDeleteI looooooove guacamole. My mom made me an addict when I was younger. When I went to Mexico I literally ate like 22 lbs of it in 6 days haha. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteSweet Maggie - the guacamole looks great but the photo of Anna ( I love that we share the same name :) ) is precious! She is so adorable! (swoon) Hugs for both of you!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm, I'm game to try guac without lime...I love the stuff! And what a sweet photo of your girl!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I could eat guacamole daily. I love it! I am curious though for the reason to omit the lime. As mentioned before, it doesn't stay around long enough to get brown, I guess I've just enjoyed the taste of it. But, you have inspired me, I will try it without sometime. I add a few more things to mine ( cumin, cilantro, and a dab of sour cream), but I love how simple fresh ingredients are enough flavor. Oh I wish I had some Avocados right now, but I am fresh out! Blessings Maggie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chellie! I LOVE lime, but I have never liked the taste in guac, mostly because I think it over powers the yummy flavor of the avocados and other fresh ingredients. If you try it, let me know how you like it. :-)
DeleteSeriously...cutest...picture...ever. It could be her awesome cuteness combine with the fact that I ADORE guacamole. Killer combination.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a classic, indeed--great color and not too processed. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteLast year, my then three year old Finn asked Santa for an avocado for Christmas. This year, Sean's cousins in California, having heard the story, sent us a box from the tree in their back yard. Can you imagine?
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I bet he was wild with excitement! :-)
DeleteThat close up shots are making me to grab food from the screen....so drool worthy
