Texas Guacamole - Secret Ingredient - Hint: It's Huge

Ingredients

3 Large Hass Avocados

juice of one lime /or lemon

half of one red onion - diced (small to medium)

2 garlic cloves (minced and pasted) pasting releases all the flavor of the garlic.

one Roma tomato ( slice 4 sides of the Roma tomato and remove the middle). The middle carries too much extra water and will make your guacamole watery…not good eats!

one Fresno chili (minced) | Fresno chilis are not hot peppers, they are more of a sweet pepper.

half /to one full dried chili (minced)(guajillo chile) | Place in the microwave covered with water - set timer for 3 minutes.

For extra heat, add one minced jalapeno or serrano pepper.

The secret ingredient helps balance out the flavors of the onion and garlic; add ⅓ cup of mango or pineapple.

How To Shop For Avocados

Tip #1: You can remove the stem at the end to see the inside. It should be green.
Tip #2: Avocados perish quickly after purchase. If you plan to use the avocados days after buying them, pick the avocados that are still very hard.

How To Keep Guacamole Bright Green

The goal is to slow down the oxidation of avocados. This is done using an acid like lemon or lime juice. Lime juice is the most classic selection.

Adding Tomatoes To Guacamole

A simple mistake is overworking your avocado. Add the tomatoes last to help ensure your guacamole isn't odd-colored by the red tomato being mushed.

Instructions

First, combine the Avocados and Lime juice. Mash the Avocados, but not too much. You want texture in your finished Guacamole. More mixing to come, so be gentle.
Next, add the Red Onion, Garlic, Peppers, and Salt and mix.
When using fresh garlic, I suggest you paste the garlic using a knife.
Add the Roma Tomato last so as not to destroy them from all the mixing. Perform small dice on the tomatoes.
Chef Tip:
Tomatoes carry a lot of extra water and will make your Guacamole watery if you do not remove the middle section.

The Dry Chilies

Split the chilies in half and remove the seeds. Use scissors.
Place in the microwave covered with water - Set timer for 3 minutes
Chop the chilies up, then add the guacamole.

Notes

Traditional Guacamole does not have tomatoes
Buying limes a few days before and allow them to denature on the counter will help them become juicier
The brown part of Avocados is oxidation and not harmful to humans. If the discoloring is too great, discard the avocado.
Discolored avocados impart a small bit of bitterness
Mangos are best when the outside skin is soft. This means the mangos are fully ripe and will be the sweetest.
