Delicous Velvety Guacamole Dip Recipe You Are Sure To Enjoy!

Don't you just love good guacamole? Well I'm going to show you, with my guacamole dip recipe, how to make the most delicious tasting guacamole you have ever had.

It all starts with the right ingredients and that means specifically avocados.

guacamole watermark www.cooking-mexican-recupes.com Depending on the time of year, you will find different kinds of avocados. Hass avocados are really the best as they tend to be more flavorful and oily instead of watery. This guacamole dip recipe will taste the best if you use Hass avocados!

When picking out tomatoes, try and find the more flavorful ones. Those that are home grown are absolutely the best and would be your number one choice. Of course growing your own isn't always possible. At the grocery store look for vine ripened tomatoes. They usually taste quite good.

Here is that guacamole recipe you have been waiting for!

Guacamole Dip Recipe



Ingredients:

  • 4 Hass avocados
  • 2 home-grown or vine ripened tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 whole chile ortega (canned)
  • 1/8 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • salt to taste
  • hot sauce to taste



Combine the tomatoes, chile, and onion on a cutting board and chop until the ingredients are fine. Scoop out the avocadoes and place in a bowl and add the tomatoe mixture. Mash with a potato masher. Add salt and hot sauce to taste.

"Lemon Juice Or Not?"

Some people add lemon or lime juice to their guacamole dip recipe. In some cases people do it to keep the guacamole from turning brown. We felt it changed the flavor too much. We chose not to disguise that wonderful avocado flavor and instead made our guacamole more frequently.

You can also try leaving the avocado pits in the guacamole to help keep the dip from turning brown. Just remember to remove them before serving.

Try making guacamole with and without lemon and see what you like better. Don't be afraid to experiment a little with this guacamole dip recipe. But after you try it both ways I will wager that you will choose to make it without the lemon or lime juice.

Here is a little tip. If your guacamole does turn a little brown after sitting out a while you can just skim off the top layer and it will be just as good as new. It's the exposure to air that turns it brown, the same way a sliced apple turns brown when left out.

This guacamole dip recipe is an absolute must for chicken fajitas as well as the top of your enchiladas, inside your tacos or enjoy it all by itself with chips!
