Love it. This is the way I make it and everyone loves it. Easy.
Chop the avacados coursely. Add chopped green onion and chopped ripe tomato. Add a dash of lime juice and crushed garlic and chopped cilantro ( or parsley). Season with your favorite spice (salt, pepper, chile powder, etc.)

Guacamole
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

GuacamoleGuacamole is an avocado-based relish or dip from the time of the Aztecs. In addition to avocados, the basic ingredients are lime juice, salt, and a large amount of black pepper (although authentic guacamole omits black pepper as it was not known in Mexico in Aztec times). Variations often include tomato, chiles, onion, coriander, garlic, and other spices. It is usually eaten with tortilla chips, although it can be spooned onto or into almost any savory Mexican dish. The name guacamole comes from Mexican Spanish via Nahuatl AhuacamOlli, from Ahuacatl (="avocado") + mOlli (="sauce"). In Spanish it is pronounced /gwakaˈmole/ and in American English it is pronounced /ˌgwɑkəˈmoʊli/ or sometimes in British English /ˌgwækəˈməʊli/. There are different types and varieties of avocados that can be used in guacamole. Not all avacados are green.

Recipes for guacamole vary, and are somewhat dependent on availability of ingredients as well as personal taste. The most basic of these is mashed avocados with a pinch of salt and sometimes a dash of lime juice.

Wherever avocados are expensive, guacamole is considered a delicacy. Sour cream or mayonnaise may be mixed in as a filler, but such preparations are often considered inferior because they dilute and mask the flavor of the avocado, and because they are not used in the original Mexican recipe. This is an American adaptation, significantly straying from "true" or "traditional" guacamole recipes.

Mexicans sometimes refer to diluted guacamole often served in low-cost taquerías as "aguamole", a portmanteau of Spanish "agua" ("water") and guacamole. Most guacamole recipes start with fresh peeled avocados, which are put into a bowl and mashed with a knife or fork. An acidic juice, typically lime, is then added; in addition to its flavouring, the juice keeps the guacamole from discolouring or oxidizing upon exposure to air. Other ingredients, typically finely minced or chopped, are mixed into the avocado and lime base. A traditional method of preparing guacamole involves the use of a molcajete (a Mexican mortar and pestle) to grind and mix the ingredients.

Guacamole is popular in the United States as a snack food, especially around holidays and other major celebrations. Cinco de Mayo, Fourth of July, Super Bowl Sunday, and Easter each account for around 5% of annual avocado sales.

What about it? If you want to make some you will need the following ingredients: 6 avocados, 6 tomatoes, 1 onion, 3 jalapenos, and juice of 2 lemons or limes. Finely dice the chili's and the onions, the remaining ingredients need to be diced into dip size pieces. When all ingredients are combined garlic,salt and pepper to taste. If you wanted to know if it is liked the answer is yes. This is my mothers recipe and the reason you make so much is so that there will be enough for all. It goes by real fast even if it is spicy.

What's your question? What do you want to know? Am I dense or what? This sounds like an unfinished question to me. Normally I don't even take the time for something like this. But this time you have my curiosity. So maybe you can answer my questions. If I am dense, then explain why.
