I make guacamole fairly often. Most people like mine. I usually use differing amounts of the following fresh ingredients:
Mashed avacados
Diced onion (yellow or white)
Minced Serrano or Jalapeno peppers
Cut up cilantro (have tried anywhere from barely cut to pureed)
Lime juice
Salt
I have tried it with garlic, but I dislike the aftertaste that it creates in the guacamole. This is probably the only thing that I do not like garlic in.
I am also a firm believer in the "there is no such thing as too much cilantro" rule.
So anyway, I'm about to make some guacamole again for a potlach/potluck and was wondering if anyone had some clever ideas for other ingredients that might "kick it up a notch". Thanks.
When I have the time I roast serranos, jalapenos, white onions, garlic and plum tomatoes on the grill. Then I pop everything into a blender with some salt to taste. No need to add pepper. DUH. Then let the ingredients cool and added to half mashed aguacate. I like some little chunks of aguacate en mi guacamole. When I don't have time I buy the Herdez salsa casera hot

and mix with the aguacate mash until I have the right consistency and flavor also salt to taste. I always add some limon at the end for a little kick and to keep the guacamole from turning brown

How about adding a chipotle pepper to your recipe instead of the serrano of jalapano?
I use a fresno chile minced fine instead of the jalapeno or serrano - always have chopped tomato and onions as well. No sour cream or cilantro. Either lemon or lime (or a combo of both). We use garlic in ours, as well as fresh cracked black pepper and a dash of oregano. Salt to taste.
Yes, maybe red onion would be and interesting change.
Are chipotle those dried ones in a bag? Do you have to reconstitute them or add them dry?
