Do you put Jalapeño in the Guacamole?

[KlokWyze]

Ok, I think I made too much guacamole...

I used 6 alvacados, 4 roma tomatoes, 1 red onion, a bunch of cilantro, 2 lime juices, 2 cloves of garlic, sea salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper.

I cried when I cut the onion up. God damn, that stuff's strong.

well.... how does it taste? you can always adjust, depending.....

I fucking LOVE spicy food and believe that everything is better when spicy.

But guacamole is one of those things you enjoy for its nutty, buttery & savory flavor, not heat. It's complimented well with acidity, not hotness, so lemon and lime are amazing with it.

Habaneros.

 

[SunnyD]

finely sliced serranos.


lot of wussies in here.

It's not that I don't like spicy foods. Guacamole just isn't supposed to be spicy. Like I said, why ruin a good thing?

I make awesome salsa (which has some jalapeno in it already), and I just add some of that at the end.

My guac recipe is:

In food processor
2 avocados
2 cloves of garlic
Quarter cup of my home made salsa
1 Tbs Lemon or Lime juice
Some cilantro
Cumin
Salt and Pepper
1 Tbs Mayo

Whip it together real good, add the salsa late so it still has some texture. Everyone always loves it. Don't knock the bit of mayo, it adds a nice warm flavor and helps smooth out the texture.

I used to do mash it all up by hand and make more of a pico de gallo for the salsa I add. So it was a good bit chunkier. This was also good. But I started whipping them up in a food processor one time when I got some really crappy hard avocados. It was a major hit that way so I've been doing that since.

Agreed. The rest of the items you are consuming should have the heat. The Guac and Sour Cream are there to be a cool complement to the rest.

However, Sour Cream with a chopped up chipotle and some adobo sauce in it is crazy good.

Also, if you like chipotle, Texas Pete's Chipotle hot sauce is pretty damn good. Not super hot but very good flavor.

And this, imho, is what makes most guacamoles taste disgusting, like the crap you get out of a bag at the store. Yes, I know most "normal" guacamole recipes call for it. I have no issues with mayo, it just doesn't belong in guac, nor does "spicy".

It tastes delicious because I painstakingly cut up all the mats by hand. I said fuck the measuring spoons and just sprinkled the spices in there liberally. It's very chunky and onionly.

 

[zinfamous]

If I knew it was gonna be this kind of party, I would have put my dick int eh mashed potatoes.

 

[zinfamous]

wtf would anyone, ANYONE, put mayo in guac?

it then becomes "a dip." disgusting.

This.

No peppers in the guacamole, but have some hot salsa to go along with it.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I put a little in. Chop it really fine and use sparingly.

And WTF with putting mayo in guacamole? I like mayo but it has no place in guacamole. I don't use a food processor either, chop everything, squeeze real limes, fresh cilantro and onion and garlic, plus 4-5 ripe avocados. Mmmm, guacamole is fantastic!

Who the hell puts mayo in guacamole? I've never heard of such a travesty. D:

There's an "avocado board"? Seriously? Good fucking lord.

Hold the Mayo, extra Ketchup

 

[SlitheryDee]

I don't make guacamole, but if I did I think jalapeño would be good to put in it.

Kraft is not mayo.

Cumin is a great ingredient to add. It gives it that something special that most people will taste and not know what it is.
