Guacamole

Haas avocados, halved,

lime, juiced

salt

cumin

cayenne

onion,

jalapeno pepper,

Roma tomatoes,

cilantro

garlic,

In a large bowl place the scooped avocado pulp and lime juice, toss to coat. Drain, and reserve the lime juice, after all of the avocados have been coated. Using a potato masher add the salt, cumin, and cayenne and mash. Then, fold in the onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved lime juice. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour and then serve. 

This is great! I rated this based on feedback after making this multiple times for many different people over a few years...not my own personal taste (but I do love it)! Stop with the "authentic" comments. No claim it's authentic. And, really, who can say what's authentic? You'll find multiple different recipes from different regions of Mexico. Really?

Wonderful guacamole recipe!  Have home grown tomatoes, jalapeños and cilantro, so used them liberally.  Added Chipotle Tabasco, pepper and salt to taste.  (I’m Californian and we like spice!)

Made my first guacamole using this recipe and it's outstanding! (One note is that the jalapeno is missing from the directions, but I assumed it goes in with the onions and tomatoes.)  Does the tablespoon of lime get folded in or sit on top of the guac while it sits at room temp?

I made this per the recipe the first time.  It was really good but I felt it was missing something.  I couldn't quite put my finger on it but...one time I made this recipe and was out of Roma tomatoes.  So in a pinch I used a can of Ro-Tel diced tomatoes (original).  Well let me tell you this was that flavor I was missing!  So my suggestion: follow AB recipe but instead of diced romas just toss in a can of Ro-Tel and your taste buds shall be rewarded!

Best guac ever. A lot of my friends' recipes call for at least double the avocado, and where I'm from, they're super expensive. I like it so much better when you get a bite with a little bit of everything, which you get from this recipe, instead of a bite that's mostly avocado and maybe a tomato chunk. I doubled the recipe and brought it to the party, and they were surprised that I only had to use 6 avocados to produce SO MUCH. Needless to say, I didn't have leftovers.<div><br /></div><div>Hint with jalepenos: some are hotter than others, and the longer they sit the hotter they get. You could make a batch of guac and have it be mild, or a batch that's super hot, so make sure you check.</div>

The best guacamole that I have ever tasted. So simple and easy to make. My husband said is a combination between awesome and fantastic. I didn’t added the cayenne pepper or the jalapeño. But it was perfect!!!!!!

As always, Mr. Brown delivers a complexity of flavors in an elegantly simple recipe. I was forced to substitute lemon juice for the lime, fresh parsley for the cilantro, and doubled the cumin for personal taste - but it never missed a beat even with those changes. 

My apologies. I've made this many times, but never thought to leave a rating. It's fabulous! Easy and delicious and scarfed up by guest and everyone else before you can turn around. Thank you Chef Alton.<br />

An excellent recipe! And if you don’t know the difference between palate and pallet then...
