Tex Mex Guacamole Recipes

WHOLLY GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Cut avocados in half, remove pit, and spoon avocado into a mixing bowl.
• Add minced garlic and squeeze the juice from one-half of the lime into the bowl of avocado.
• Mash the ingredients together to desired consistency using the back of a large spoon or a potato masher (some like the avocado chunky, some like it smoother).
• Fold in diced tomato and diced onion, a couple pinches of salt, and the juice from the remaining lime half (Also add cilantro or peppers at this time).
• Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
• Uncover and taste.
• Add salt as needed.
• If you don't give the resulting guacamole at least 4 stars, then you ain't making it right.
• NOTE: The purpose of the lime is to allow any leftover guacamole to retain its "avocado" color as it sits in the fridge.
• Some folks use lemon, but it's been my experience that if you accidentally add too much lemon, it seriously affects the guacamole's flavor; if you happen to add too much lime, the guacamole just gets a little more tangy.
• If you find the leftover guacamole has darkened, simply stir it before eating and use more fresh lime juice next time.
• Wholly guacamole may be used as a topper with tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, etc.
• However, some say it is at its best with a bowl of warm tortilla chips and an ice cold beer.
