I don't think I've ever seen a recipe for it, but there must be from Bobby Flay, Rick Bayless and guys like that.
We don't measure, but just add diced tomato, onion, jalapeño or Serrano peppers and cilantro to some mashed avocado. Try to mash, not blend, you don't want it to be over-mixed or too creamy, chunks are good. Salt to taste, add a touch of garlic if you like. -
Have made this many times. It's a winner.

Perfect dish for experimentation. Mashed avo. Plus lime. Plus a bit of salsa. Sometimes a bit of sour cream. And/or cilantro. And/or chipotle in adobo.
Have fun! It's just guac!!
(and practice saying "wockamoooolayyyyy")It's a 302 thing . . . -
To @Legume I definitely add garlic then squeeze a lime into it. Roma tomatoes, white onion.

The absolutely most important part is getting avocados that are the perfect ripeness. I usually get the hass variety. Often, the ones at the store are under ripe so you sometimes have to plan several days in advance; buying the avacados and letting them ripen at home. I believe there is a trick about putting them in a paper bag (but I've never done that).
If you have leftover, over it with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge. It may turn a little brownish but, just give it a good stir and it will green back up.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada -
Ripeness is key as @TexanOfTheNorth says. A little soft is good. I've read you can pick the stem off and it should be brown. I just give a little squeeze.
It it will also vac seal and freeze well. Just mash it flat and it will defrost in cold water rather quickly. -
Oops, left the lime out. We usually squeeze on top when finished, don't mix in as much. Gotta seed the tomatoes too, don't want all that liquid in there.

If you want to blow someone's mind, sprinkle some toasted pepitas and crumbled cotija cheese on top, just make sure you get a dry, crumbly one.

- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne

- 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced

Guac! Such a simple yet outstanding choice. Ripe avocado. Lime juice. Small diced tomato(salsa in a pinch) and sweet or red onion. A bit of adobo seasoning. That is all that is required. Jalapenos(seeded) add spice for those that enjoy that taste. If the avocado is not quite ripe enough I add sour cream to soften the consistancy.
For storage leave the pit in it. Press plastic wrap down on top of the Guac. Refrigerate. The combination of these two trick and the lime juice seem to keep it for a couple days.(not that it should ever last that long)

Matt's recipe about is very close to what I use. I did not read or link to the others. Here is mine:
Using 2 ripe, but not overly mushy Hass Avocados:
3/4 med tomato diced - I use whatever is not overly ripe.
1/3 - 1/2 med red onion diced
2 good sized garlic cloves minced
1 to 2 seeded jalapenos depending on heat.
2 limes
Just a crack of pepper
Salt to taste (If using as a dip, taste with the chips you are using, as they have a god amount of salt as well.)
Slice up avocado into a non-metalic bowl, mash to 70% the consistency you want with a heavy plastic fork, leaving some chunks.
Add onion, garlic, and the crack of pepper.
Mash to 90% of desired consistency - leaving a few chunks.
Fold in tomato, leaving any fluid from slicing out.
Squeeze in all the juice of one lime, and fold that in.
Add salt to taste.
If you are going to eat it right away - add other lime as well and mix. If preparing for later, squeeze the lime juice from the second lime on top of the guac, but let it sit there as it will prevent it from oxidation and turning brown. Mix right before eating.
I can not stand cumin, so none in mine please.
Cilantro is optional. I love the stuff, but leave it out of guac.
Homemade guac with homemade bacon on a home ground chuck burger is a perfect summer meal.

Seriously, you need a recipe? I just wing it.
avocados
homemade salsa (has chunk tomatoes, jalapeno, habanero, garlic, onion)
chopped tomatoes to taste
diced onion to taste
lemon or lime juice
salt
cracked pepper
This is as good as I have had in any Mexican restaurant from Phoenix to TX to the East coast. and what's with the recipe with mayo and sour cream??? Really??? that sounds like some northerners/easteners interpretation of guacamole. With all of the "stuff" in there, you mask the actual flavor of the avocado. Guacamole = crushed/ground avocado fruit. -
I agree with the wing it plan, make mine a little different each time. Grilled corn is a good add for a leftover usage.XL, 2 Large, Mini -- Shenandoah, TX Now BulletGrillHouse

Smashed avocado
Diced red onion
Diced jalapeño
Cilantro
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Cumin
Cayenne
Lime juice
Adjust spices and lime juice till its nicely balanced. -

I have made guacamole every week for at least 6 years for my family's Taco Night! After trying many recipes, we like the simple version the best:
3 Ripe Avocados
1 Lime
1 clove Garlic
Crushed Red Pepper
1/2 t. Cumin
Sea Salt (liberal amount)
Put spices and Lime juice in bowl. Use a microplane grater to grate the garlic. Squeeze avocados into bowl and mash with fork to desired consistency. Add salt to taste!
We love this with tacos or good tortilla chips.

Never used a recipe. Ripe Avocados mashed, fresh lime juice, fresh fist full of cilantro chopped, chopped Vidalia onion, one clove garlic minced, mayo, punch of fresh ground S&P. Always make to taste...thus recipe varies depending on what it's going with.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

Biggest part is getting your avocados when they are perfect. I hit the Mercado's in southwest Detroit (Mexican town) because you never have to worry about the will they be ready in time for my BBQ. I've won Guacamole competitions with this recipe. Everything perfectly fresh and ripe is the key to the perfect guacamole.
Two to three Roma tomatoes (depending on their size)
One Serrano chili diced very fine
One garlic clove pressed
White onion diced and rinsed in cold water to get rid of the bite (about 1/2 a small one) 1/2 cup or so.
Two or three tablespoons of cilantro chopped.
Juice of 1/2 a decent sized soft lime
Teaspoon of kosher salt
Mix in a bowl and let flavors blend for 1/2 hour
Mash in a bowl with 3 large or 4 small (Mexican style) avocados.
Let sit for a few minutes before serving.
