Homemade Guacamole
100% Mexican recipe. Chop one onion, three tomatoes and 5 serrano peppers, add two ripe avocados and smash them, then mix in cilantro, salt and the juice of two lemons. Enjoy!

Mash the avocado first and then stir in the onion/tomato so that these don't get mushed in the process. ( it does look like you were able to avoid these happening though )

Bro you put lemons in your guac. You might as well listen to The NY Times and put peas in next.

personally, I'm a guac "purist".
Just avocado, salt, lime juice. Avocado mashed until slightly lumpy. Eso es todo!

No peppers? No garlic? No onion?

No, nah and nope.
I like guac how I like it.i don't sneer at overly complicated guac salads, if you like it, you do you.

That’s not guacamole that’s just mashed avocado.

u/tardigrsde Dried Chiles 18h ago
Maybe so, but that's how I like it

u/Yellow_Curry 13h ago
Never said it was bad. Just saying it’s not guac so there is no such thing as being a purist. If you were a purist you’d use avocado, onion, cilantro, jalepeno, cilantro, lime. The absolute basics.

Pretty common in real Mexican cuisine where it is often used as a condiment. Usually heavily salted as well. Often combined with salsa Mexicana on whatever it is being eaten on.

I'm the same but I use garlic salt. So good. Anyone who claims it isn't" real guacamole" can sit and spin for all I care. I learned to make it this way when i worked as a cook at a Mexican restaurant. We went through a full case of avocado every day.

Five serranos for only two avocados?! Talk about mouth on fire. At that point why don't you just eat the peppers by themselves?

For me guac has rules, like chilli.
No beans for chilli.
No tomatoes for guac.
You can however put salsa on TOP of guac, just not IN it. Like on a guac toastada - tostada,.guac, lettuce, maybe a slice of tomato, and then some red sauce or taco sauce or salsa and some cheese.
When you put tomato IN guac as part of the recipe, you ruin it. Period.
Fight me.

I'll back that. A very very unnecessary ingredient.
Not the beans though. Give me hella beans in my chili.

u/EggsceIlent 1d ago
I can go both ways on the chill with very specific beans.
So for the most part I'm just about flavor and good chilli meat.
The tomatos and guac is non negotiable tho 🤣

I always used a little bit of tomatoes for my guacamole until the day I didn’t have tomatoes, that and every subsequent guacamole has been better than any version I made with tomatoes. You can like putting tomatoes in your guacamole, you’d be wrong, but you can still like it.

u/EggsceIlent 1d ago
To me I like tomato's or pico on my guac, like if I'm eating a fajita of course there's gonna be pico and hot sauce and guac etc in there.
Just not in the guac when it's made. It just ruins it, makes it runny, makes it spoil quick, mealy, and just changes it to something else yanno?
So like they can be friends, but not date.
