Directions
Wholly Guacamole,This is a true Tex-Mex recipe concocted by a distant relative stationed at the Alamo nearly 160 years ago. According to family lore, he was out looking for some good tomatoes when Santa Ana attacked the now famous Texas landmark. Luckily, our relative kept this recipe in the lining of his coon-skin cap, and both he and his avocado dip lived to fight another day. Years later, near death from an infected Chihuahua bite, he looked deep into his son’s eyes, and with his last breath, uttered the familiar phrase “Remember… the…guacamole.”,Excellent. A big Thank You to Kai T. for the suggestion to add Cumin (1/2 teaspoon) & Cayenne Pepper (1/8 teaspoon). My wife really liked the result after 30 mins. in the fridge, said this is as good as the grocery stores by us that have authentic Latinos making great Guacamole!,I have made this guacamole for my annual company potluck for the last decade or so and I never have any to bring home. I usually make 1.5x the recipe, too. My tweak is to dice the tomato, onion, a couple cloves of garlic, and hot pepper the night before, then add the juice of half the lime. The next day, mash the avocados with garlic and lime, and mix everything together. It takes a great recipe to a new level of flavor.

Note: the Purpose of the Lime Is to Allow Any Leftover Guacamole to Retain Its "avocado" Color as It Sits in the Fridge. |

Some Folks Use Lemon, but It's Been My Experience That If You Accidentally Add Too Much Lemon, It Seriously Affects the Guacamole's Flavor; If You Happen to Add Too Much Lime, the Guacamole Just Gets a Little More Tangy. |
