GUACAMOLE - REAL AUTHENTIC MEXICAN "GUAC"
I am surprised how difficult it is to find a genuine guacamole recipe. No need for mayo or sour cream or all the other additives. This is the original, handed down generations, yet the most simple basic way to make Guacamole. I even make it better than my Mother in Law, which is a hard act to follow. :) Make this recipe and you will never go back. Hope you enjoy this like all my friends and family do.

Steps:
- Slice avocados in half. Discard the seed. Scoop out of shell with a spoon. Place in bowl.
- Add juice of one fresh lime immediately to prevent browning. Use a fork and mash to desired consistency.
- Add chopped onions, tomato, and cilantro. Stir gently to mix ingredients.
- Add juice of second lime and then salt to taste. Stir just slightly, until incorporated.
- Add jalapeño to taste.
- Serve with your favorite tortilla chips for a dip, or use with your favorite Mexican dish.
- a side note: this is to make a chunky, yet creamy guacamole. Some people prefer to use a food processor with all the ingredients to make for a VERY creamy dip.

GUACAMOLE ANY WAY YOU WANT IT
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cut the tops off the pointed end of the garlic bulbs. Put them onto a sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Wrap loosely, put into the oven and bake until soft, 35 to 45 minutes. Unwrap and let cool a bit.
- Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and cook slowly, stirring often, until the onions are dark and caramelized.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat and add the jalapeno peppers, corn and bell peppers. Turn the vegetables frequently until they are well charred. Put all the peppers into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. When they are cool enough to handle, peel off the black skin and chop into small pieces. When the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob.
- Cut the tortillas into triangles and put them in one layer on 3 baking sheets. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over each pan. Sprinkle the spices, one for each pan, over the triangles. Bake until they are lightly browned and crispy.
- Peel and chop the mango. Stir in the chopped red onions, half the lime juice and some salt.
- Peel and chop the avocado. Add the rest of the lime juice and some salt and mix gently.
- Set up your Guacamole Bar: Put the guacamole in a large bowl. Put all the mix-ins - the roasted garlic, mango salsa, caramelized onions, bell peppers, corn, jalapenos, cilantro, scallions, chipotles, red pepper flakes and hot sauce - into smaller bowls. Let people help themselves to guacamole and their favorite toppings. Serve with the flavored chips.

GUACAMOLE
Providing a framework to build on as you wish, this pared-down guacamole lets the avocado shine. If you want more lime, add more lime. Seed the jalapeño, if you prefer its fruity heat without the spice, or leave the seeds in, if you enjoy living life on the edge. Letting the diced onion sit in lime juice for a couple of minutes will help temper its pungent bite before imbuing the dish with its oniony savoriness. Chopped cilantro and diced tomatoes are welcome additions to this Mexican staple, if you'd like. It's your guacamole. Serve with tortilla chips, or as a condiment alongside your meal, and double or triple this recipe for a party.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the onion and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Let that sit as you chop the jalapeño.
- Cut the hard stem end off of the jalapeño and discard, then slice the chile in half lengthwise. If you don't want the spice, use your knife or a spoon to remove the inner seeds and white membrane (this is where most of the chile's heat resides). If you enjoy the heat, then leave all of that in. Chop the jalapeño as finely as you can and add to the bowl with the onion and lime juice. Be sure to wash your hands very well with soap after handling spicy chiles like jalapeños, and whatever you do, do not touch your eyes after handling them.
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and pull the halves apart. You can use your knife to pit the avocados, but a safer way is to hold the avocado half in one hand so that your thumb is touching the skin side where the pit is and your index and middle fingers are touching the flesh side around the pit. Gently press your fingers into each other to pop the pit out; with a ripe avocado, it should come out very easily. Use your hands to squeeze the avocado flesh out into the bowl with the other ingredients, or scoop it out with a spoon.
- Using a fork, gently mash the avocados against the side of the bowl until they are mashed to your desired consistency, then stir them into the other ingredients until well combined. Taste and add more salt if desired.
- Contrary to popular belief, adding avocado pits to guacamole does nothing to prevent oxidation, but if you press a good layer of plastic wrap or parchment paper directly over the guacamole and store it in the refrigerator, it will keep well for up to 2 days.
Tips:
- Choose the right avocados: Look for ripe avocados that are slightly soft when gently squeezed. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too mushy.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your guacamole will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, and fresh lime juice.
- Don't over-mash the avocados: Guacamole should be chunky, not smooth. Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the avocados until they are just combined.
- Add your favorite seasonings: Guacamole is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, or chili powder to taste.
- Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a dip, spread, or topping. With its creamy texture and fresh flavor, guacamole is a perfect addition to any party or gathering. Experiment with different recipes and ingredients to find your perfect guacamole recipe.
