2 of my 3 new roommates just graduated from culinary school a year ago. One of them taught me a great trick to making guacamole. She uses a whisk and jabs at the avacado! It's not chunky at all (like I get with a fork) it's really kind of silky and bumpy... Doesn't that sound yummy?



Oh, and by the way, I looooooove me some guacamole!

Mmm...guacamole! My sister-in-law makes the absolute best guacamole - and it's the sole reason my husband can convince me to ever, ever go visit them in Texas. (Texas scares me.)



And dang, 2 roommates in culinary school? Lucky duck! (and yes, I know it's a penguin and not a duck, but close enough!)



Did your roommate share her guacamole recipe with you, or just her technique?

Mmmm... someone (aka me) just bought 6 avacados at the grocery...

I wish avacados weren't so expensive!

I am lazy, I buy the bulk stuff from Sam's. It is really good.

How else do you guys eat it besides with tortilla chips and with mexican food?

Need ideas as I have a lot of it. I love it on quesadillas.

I have had guac with carrots or with crackers before.. But I prefer it in tacos and burritos, or chips. There's just no other way for me.



I looove avOcados....

how much do they run in your area? they're 4 for a buck here this week.

I like chunky guac. I make mine sort of salsa-like with jalapenos, tomatoes, and onions. Lots of lime juice. Avocados are so nummy.



Of course, a smoother guac wouldn't be bad, though. So long as it's avocados in it and none of those low-fat "guacamoles" made from broccoli or asparagus. I'm sure they might be good, but if I want guac, I want me some avocado.

It's good as a sandwich base in place of the usual hummus, just add assorted veggies.



It's also good on baked potatoes. I make potato taquitos sometimes, but if I'm in the mood from some and don't want all the grease a baked potato with guacamole and salsa is a good alternative.



Last time I was in Baja I went to the Commerical Mexicana (huge grocery store) and they had like 4 kilos of avocados for the about 80 cents and they were all perfectly ripe. I almost wept, you can't transport fruit or veg over the border. But I bought two and some fresh bolillos (hard rolls) and made the best damn sandwich I've ever eaten out in the parking lot.

Guacamole made from broccholi or aspearagus? That's just nasty.... and wrong on so many levels.



I like a nice, chunky guacamole with lime juice (not lemon, lemon makes it taste funny), garlic, a tad of salt and a bit of pepper.



I love avocados, too....

Guac in burritoes!




Ugh!! I've never heard of such a thing, nor do I ever want to hear of it again!

Please tell me you made this up! Nobody would really create such a travesty, would they?



*feels a wave of despair crashing over her*

I've seen "broccomole" in the stores.

Wow that's cheap, here they're like $1.50 each.

Nope, I didn't make this up. Terrible, I know.

I've heard of the broccoli "guacamole" before, but can't find a recipe for it.

They're really expensive here too, as well as crappy and small. The avocadoes in Brazil were as big as my head and CHEAP!

Yeah, the last time I was at the local grocery avocados were 1.89 each. Take me to Brazil!

avocados oh I love them soooo much... I love them in burritos and mmmmmm I love guac... I put them on veggieburgers and sandwiches...in salads...luckily they don't seem to bother me... I just have to make sure I don't eat too much in one day.

Thanks for the guacamole ideas, here is a sandwich I am going to make

TVP "Chicken" Chunks browned in oil

guacamole

cooked crisp Fakin Bacon or Lightlife Bacon

italian dressing or vegan ranch

flour tortilla

Is this it perhaps?

I only just started liking guacamole recently, still haven't tried making it myself though.



I've seen recipes for guacamole made of green peas and beans, but never broccoli, none sound very appealing!

ooo guacamoleeeeeeee **drools across the earth** i put it on eeeeeverything. sandwich..snacks..pizza...even tried it on oatmeal once ((i do nooooot recomend haha)). they're expensive where i live too...but reading what galatea wrote reminded me..i'm currently in brazil!! eee hee hee **steals one o you boyos hats n charges out to find me some guacamoleeeee**

Mmmm... guacamole



I tried to make my own last week, but the avocados I bought were very underripe. Yuck.

Can't get that page to load for some reason, but it's possible that is it.

I make mine with a potato masher. Perfect consistency for me!

I would love to find a jalapeno free guacamole where I live. I would make my own, but I can never find Advocados in my Stop & Shop!!! Does any one know of a specific brand that's not spicy?

I like my guacamole a little bit chunky, too, so I can see the yellow and green color contrast, along with red from my tomatoes!

chunky guac is the best. Besides pico de gallo, guacmole is my fave dip.

guys does pesico test on animals and do you buy tostitos chips and lays and ruffles (the vegan products) ?

guys i got those avocado that i thougt would be wonderful to make guacmole with them it's just that when i opened them and tasted them they tasted sweet whats up with that

 

now i don't know what to do with them?

 

any suggestions
