When I was a kid, growing up in Southern California, my best friend lived on an avocado ranch. During the day we would climb the trees to escape her head-butting pet goats. At night we would sleep in a tree house that her dad had built up in the high branches. A few times a year her dad would deliver a harvest of avocados, piled in the bed of a trailer, to the local Mexican restaurant in town. We would hide under the mounds of avocados as he drove to the restaurant. Then we would jump out, laughing crazily, as soon as he would stop in the parking lot of the place.
Deliciously Easy Guacamole
Simple 6 ingredient guacamole recipe. Made with basic panty ingredients you probably already have available in your kitchen.
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 3 medium large ripe avocados firmly ripe but not too soft
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 - 4 Tbsp green taco sauce Pico Pica or La Victoria
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- This recipe is a simple base for basic guacamole. Add to it as many ingredients that you like. Fresh diced red onion, fresh cilantro, jalapeno peppers...whatever floats your boat, toss it in there.
- Remove pit from avocado and scoop the fruit out into a medium bowl.
- Add all the ingredients to avocado and mash together. NOTE: It is important to use green taco sauce or salsa because red sauces will give your guacamole a kind of unappetizing brown color. Use the green, trust me.
- Do not over mash. There's nothing better that fat chunks of avocado to load onto your chip, plus your dip won't break down and become watery if it's chunky.
- Serve in tacos, scooped up with tortilla chips, on scrambled eggs.
