OUR FAVORITE MOST AMAZING GUACAMOLE



Our Favorite Most Amazing Guacamole image

My husband and I tried a ridiculous amount of guacamole over our decades together, but no recipe ever hit home for us. After much experimenting, I finally created a recipe we can't get enough of. It even beats every restaurant we've ever been to. The two of us can eat this whole bowl in one sitting, and enjoy every bite. I'm so happy to share it with you. Now Taco Tuesday can be any night of the week! Serve it with tortilla chips, or use it to top tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, burritos, and more.

Time 10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 medium avocados, peeled and seeded
1/2 can Ro-Tel tomatoes
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together and serve immediately with restaurant style tortilla chips.
  • NOTE: If not eating right away, place seeds in dip to help guacamole from turning brown.
  • Also, place a piece of plastic wrap across the top of the guacamole, mashing it in to touch the top layer of guacamole.
  • When you peel the plastic wrap off, it will take away anything that has turned a little brown.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and that yield to gentle pressure.
  • To easily scoop out the avocado flesh, cut the avocado in half lengthwise and twist the halves apart. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the flesh.
  • If you don't have a molcajete, you can use a mortar and pestle or a food processor to mash the avocado and other ingredients.
  • To prevent the guacamole from turning brown, add a little bit of lemon or lime juice. You can also cover the guacamole with plastic wrap and press it directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent air from touching it.
  • Guacamole is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dip or spread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or just as a snack. With its creamy texture and fresh, zesty flavor, guacamole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
