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.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN GUACAMOLE
I got this recipe from my friend's husband, who is from Tijuana. This is a hit at family get-togethers, and is very easy to make. You'll know an avocado is ripe by touching the ends--a little soft is just right for using immediately; too soft is too ripe.

Steps:
- Take avocados and cut into and around the circumference of the avocado's pit.
- With both hands twist the two halves in opposite directions and pull apart.
- Remove the pit with a knife or a spoon.
- Carve out the flesh of the avocado with a tablespoon.
- Place avocados into a medium bowl and mash and stir until moderately creamy. I use a fork or a pastry blender.
- Some people like the avocados more chunky than others-- either way it tastes great.
- Add diced onion and tomatoes to the avocados.
- Add salt, pepper, tabasco sauce and lime juice and taste to see if seasoned enough to your liking.
- In a separate small bowl put in 2 tablespoons of the dip.
- Add 1 tbsp of sour cream and adjust your seasonings again.
- Taste it and decide if you prefer your guacamole with or without sour cream.
- If you like with sour cream add 4 tablespoons or more to the avocado mixture and adjust your seasonings again.
- If not, do nothing and leave it like it is.
- Serve chilled with chips or add a little to your taco salad, tacos or fajitas.

Steps:
- In a molcajete, add the white onion, cilantro, and serrano chile. Grind the ingredients together until they form a paste so that the juices mix.
- Hint: The molcajete is a mortar and pestle made from black volcanic rock and is used in mexico to make guacamole. If you don't have a molcajete, use a large heavy bowl and a wooden spoon to grind the ingredients.
- Halve the avocados, discard the pits, and scoop out the avocado in large chunks with a spoon. Gently mix with the onion paste in the mocajete, mashing the avocado slightly.
- Gently mix in the diced tomatoes, lime juice and salt. If needed add extra salt and serrano chile to taste.
- Hint: Avocados brown quicker if not diced into cubes before mashing. The lime juice also helps to preserve it's color. The browned avocado doesn't taste any different, it just looses it's appeal. So make it just before you're ready to serve it! Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use ripe avocados. The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful the guacamole will be.
- Choose the right type of avocados. Hass avocados are the most popular type of avocado for guacamole, as they have a creamy texture and a rich flavor.
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh lime juice, cilantro, and onions will give your guacamole the best flavor.
- Don't over-mash the avocados. You want the guacamole to be chunky, not smooth.
- Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cumin or garlic powder.
- Serve immediately. Guacamole is best when it is fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many ways. It is a popular appetizer, snack, or side dish. It can also be used as a topping for tacos, burritos, and other Mexican dishes. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, guacamole is sure to be a hit!
