Best Guacamole
~ Mary ~
There’s nothing like good guacamole and corn tortilla chips. The key to making it notable is a sturdy chip and never running out. Lets face it, by the time any of us get around to actually making a batch, we may as well make a bucket full and have everyone dig in!
The best brand of tortilla chips we’ve found is El Milagro in the beige bag, and in a pinch Donkey brand will do.
Best Guacamole
This recipe is a guide – the ingredients stay the same, but the quantities vary based on the size of the avocados and limes and my taste that day.
6 – 8 Avocados – peel and pit removed – place in mixing bowl and mash with a fork or a pie cutter
2 – 4 Juiced Limes – Start with 2 and add more at the end
1/4 Cup or more minced Red Onion – Stir in
2-4 Cloves minced Garlic – Stir in
Kosher Salt to taste
1 Dollop Sour Cream – this makes it nice and creamy – do not get carried away After you have tasted and feel good about the flavor add:
1 Bunch Chopped Cilantro
Place in fridge and let flavors meld for an hour or more.
Do you prefer your guac with a little zing?! – On occasion I will add some Salsa, and If I don’t have that I’ll add some Diced Tomatoes and Crushed Red Pepper.
