This is the base guacamole recipe from Gabriel's in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It is intended only as a jumping-off point: Add more seasonings to your taste. We preferred it with 1/2 teaspoon jalapeño, 4 teaspoons onion, and 4 teaspoons lime juice.
My husband makes the exact guacamole. It is so heavenly, while I just add salsa to make mine and garlic. I'm just lazy.
Former Santa Fe resident and frequent customer at Gabriels over 15 years. Excellent base recipe but based on my eating experience there I doubled the tomato and lime juice and used 1/2 cup of cilantro. I personally add and prefer 1/2 tspn powder cumin. Can't make enough for my guests. Do not use the jumbo avacados. I use only Haas type not overly ripe.
A big hit with everyone! I added about half of a third avocado & doubled the amount of jalapeno & cilantro. I ran out early on because everyone enjoyed it so much.
I've made this twice, now. This time I did about 3 avocados, 4 tbs of onion, about 3/4 of a lime's juice, half of a mostly seeded jalapeno, and no cilantro (makes me sick after a funky juicing mixture that we made. Cabbage, cilantro, a lemon, and beets don't mix O.o) or salt. It was awesome. The lime gave it an awesome flavor. My boyfriend and I (mostly me) couldn't stop eating it.
I have been using this recipe for over 30 years except I don't always put tomato in unless I am serving it right away. It tends to discolor the avocado! This is by far the best recipe anywhere......add more jalapenos if you like it spicier, depends on who I am serving.
It was very good but I added a bit more jalapeno and a tablespoon of sour cream.
This is the best guacamole I've ever made or tasted! Used a good Florida avocado (big one!), more minced onion, more garlic, chopped cherry tomatoes and a couple of shakes of chili powder (zero cilantro--don't like it!)...added Sriracha sauce and the juice of one whole Persian lime! My guests raved over it! We emptied the bowl, scooping out this wonderful stuff with bite-sized Tostitos. This is my GoTo Guac recipe from now on! I don't have one of those pounding gadgets made out of lava (molajete? or whatever it's called) but found that my big mortar and pestle worked great! Next time I made it, my potato masher worked well, too. I like it best when it's a little chunky... Recipe definitely a keeper!
This was a Great Guacamole. Loved all the flavors. I may spice it up with a little more Jalapeno next time. watch the lime, it's easy to add too much.
Yummy!
I made this last night for cinco de mayo- it turned out great. I followed the suggestion that the staff said to use in the beginning paragraph. I doubled the recipe and didnt have a bit left! Will definitely make again!!
This is the best guacamole I've made. I usually add more jalapeno and garlic, and onion, but we like it a bit spicy.
