Guacamole!


Vicky's Signature Guacamole!
i brought this to a party with like 20 people. it was gone in 20 minutes. sad. i made a huge batch too...so you know it's good. it got eaten faster than the goddamn bacon-cheese dip. people were slathering it onto their cheeseburgers for god's sake. ok, so make it!

  1. Mash together 4 ripe avocados. 
  2. add 1/4 cup lime juice or more [according to taste]
  3. add 1/4 cup sour cream for extra creamyness, and because avocados are expensive.
  4. 2 or 3 cloves minced garlic
  5. add 1 small finely chopped red onion, 1 or 2 jalapenos OR habaneros if yo love your spicy.
  6. add 1 or 2 chopped tomatoes, or 1/4 cup chunky salsa, up to you.
  7. a large handful or two or fresh cilantro, depends how much you like it.
  8. lots of salt, some pepper if you want. 
  9. taste and adjust everything. add hot sauce or another pepper for more spicy, and if it's too thick, add more sour cream OR lime juice. 
  10. serve with tortilla chips, on tacos or fajitas, or with veggies. 
ALSO CONSIDER:
Black bean guacamole; a can of cooked black beans or refried beans added.
Meaty Guacamole: taco meat, or fried chorizo, or faijita meat, whatever. if it's a dip, go all out.
Cheesy Guacamole! Add in crumbled feta cheese, or even some goat cheese. Or monterey jack, or cheddar, anything to make it QUESO.

ALSO.....
Hummus guacamole. subsitute half the avocado for hummus or mashed chickpeas.
Italian Guacamole: plus basil and tomato sauce.
Ceviche Guacamole: chopped seafood, like crab, shrimp, snapper, or squid
Fava Bean Guacamole: well avocados are healthy fat, but if you don't want it, mash upsome fava beans.
Bacon Guacamole: need I say more?
Taco Gucamole: add a packet of taco seasoning, fried chopped onions, peppers, etc instead of raw.
