Game-Day (or any day) Guacamole
I used to have a video post showing how I liked to make my Guacamole but it was one of the videos I lost in my big video crash! So in the words of Snookie (from the Jersey Shore)...
Waaaahhhhhh!!! (oh don't even pretend like you haven't seen it).
Everyone seems to have a favorite way to make Guacamole and this is by far my favorite!
These are some simple guidelines I use to get my Guacamole just the way I like it:
1. Garlic. I'm a big flavor girl, SO I like big flavor guacamole. Translation = lots of garlic!
2. Scallions. I prefer the milder flavor of scallions over onions in my guacamole (I'm kind of contradicting my big flvor theory here BUT trust me, it works!).
3. No tomatoes. I like to garnish with tomatoes but I never stir them in - they tend to add too much liquid. (If you really like tomatoes in your guac, then I suggest removing the seeds first [something I do not have the patience to do!]).
4. Cilantro. People either love it or hate it! I love it.

I'm gonna serve my Guacamole with some baked chips and a big pot of Spicy Veggie Chili (a recipe I'll be sure to share if it turns out good!).

Great pic and recipe! I used to use red onion but the last couple of batches I used shallots instead and those worked very well. Also instead of tomato I use red pepper, which I do mix in. Otherwise I think mine is the same as yours, it's one of those recipes I've never written down...
