This is the one -- the best EVER guacamole recipe, and it's been a closely held secret for decades. My family is crazy about it, and it's requested often. It's so easy you'll wonder why you ever bought that pre-made stuff at the store, and you won't believe the flavor!

Ingredients
- 2 large avocados, firm and ripe
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (not lemon!)
- 4 oz cans green chilies, diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons grated onion
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large ripe roma tomato
- 6-8 - pcs sun dried tomato, optional
How To Make guacamole ole`
-
Step 1Cut the tomato in half, scoop out the gooey seed center. With a sharp knife, cut the tomato into very small bits, being careful not to mush it. Place the chopped tomato bits on a paper plate, and blot carefully with a paper towel to remove any excess wetness. Set aside.
-
Step 2Peel an onion and grate it on the smallest side of a box grater. This will produce a watery onion mush. Place 2T. into a medium mixing bowl.
-
Step 3Add chilies, garlic, salt and pepper, stirring to combine.
-
Step 4OPTIONAL: If you want to kick up the tomato essence in the guacamole, mince several pieces of sun dried tomato and stir it in.
-
Step 5Peel avocados, and mash on a plate with a fork, with the lime juice.
-
Step 6Add the mashed avocado and lime juice mixture to the bowl, stir gently to combine.
-
Step 7Serve with tortillas, chips, or veggies. In theory, you could use leftovers as a yummy spread on a turkey sandwich, a nice tostada, or in a burrito... but who has leftovers?!
-
Step 8NOTE: I prefer to make this just before I want to serve it, so the avocado doesn't darken. It's best served within an hour or two, at room temp.
