I only have one exception...when you visit Carlos-N-Charlies and the Guacamole Boy makes you his guac...THAT, my friend, is and always will be the most delicious in my mind...
I never measure my ingredients for this recipe...I am more of an "eyeballer," and it also depends on the size(s) of the avacados you are using...
Here I have gathered all of the things I use to make this recipe...
Ingredients: (all measurements...are guesstiments...like I said)
- 2 avocados
- 1/4 red pepper
- 1/2 jalapeno, diced
- 1/8 tomato, diced
- 1/8 onion, diced
- 1/8 c. cilantro
- fresh lime juice or lime juice
- Frank's Red Hot
- Tabasco
- salt and pepper
-Slice avocado, put into a bowl with a flat bottom (makes mashing easier)
-Dice the veggies. I try to make the pieces as small as possible.

| Little tiny pieces of pepper |

This giant onion is from Barroner's in Hollidaysburg, PA...gotta love hometown veggies! |
(*for the jalapeno, keep the seeds if you like it hot or discard the seeds for a more mild taste*)
 |
| I have a few seeds...this pepper just smelled hot! |
-Put everything on top of each other in the bowl. Add in a few splashes of Frank's Red Hot and Tabasco sauce. Couple splashes of lime juice. Salt and Pepper to taste. (I tend to do a bit of tasting in these next few steps...)
-Mash everything together.
And, there it is...your own homemade guac that YOU know what is in it! And, A LOT less sodium than those premade bowls or packets...and the mashing part provided a little bit of stress relief too...BONUS!
-A tidbit I learned thru the years...if you place Cling-Wrap to the top of the guacamole, it won't turn brown. So, I put it directly on top and then I put the lid on it. (Not gonna lie, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...)
-Refrigerate until chilled before eating.
**I was right about the jalapeno...with the few seeds that went in...this guac is HOT!!! Proceed with caution!
