10647 Guacamole 10 mins 10 mins About 6 cups Tue Aug 29 14:22:00 -0700 2006 Wed Sep 02 13:17:32 -0700 2009 Easy Mexican CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/10647 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 20:17:32 GMT You'll never buy it from the store again Once you've made this version, you'll never buy it from the store again. Homemade guacamole involves nothing more than mashing together a handful of ingredients for a few minutes. The flavor of fresh guacamole is far superior to the shelf-stable glop in the supermarket, so go for it and make your own. Serve it with some chips and salsa, and you’ve got yourself an instant party. It’s also a delicious accompaniment to quesadillas.

What to buy: Look for avocados that give slightly when pressed but are not completely soft. We used Hass avocados in this preparation.

  • Halve avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Mash with the back of a large fork or a potato masher to make a chunky paste.
  • Add tomato, cilantro, scallions, chiles, lime juice, and salt, and stir to combine. Taste, adjust seasoning as needed, and serve immediately.
