For our recipe today,
we are using six avocados.
When picking avocados at the store,
Not mushy, but not hard either.
Pick ones that have the stem still.
Once the stem is removed,
brown spots can start to form.
Carefully place the tip of your knife
into the center of the avocado,
until you hit the seed.
Then, follow the seed with your knife long-ways,
across the avocado,
until you have cut all the way through.
Twist to separate your two halves.
Carefully drive your blade into the seed.
Then, very carefully,
twist the seed until it comes out.
Do NOT try to yank the seed from the knife.
Instead hit the seed on a surface
with your blade facing upwards.
i'll show you what to do with them later.
Take a spoon
and follow the skin of the avocado
to scoop out our green little friend.
Since we are fat and happy,
we have to try a bite!
Put the rest in the bowl.
Repeat this for all six avocados.
Take a few minutes and mash up all of your avocados .
i used a fork but if you have a potato masher or another similar tool this will work just as well
continue to mash up your avocados until you have this consistency now we are going to chop up three
serrano peppers i'll be including the seeds in this recipe if you don't want any spice in your
guacamole you could take out the seeds or use one to two jalapenos and remove the seeds in those
as well after they're all sliced i like to chop them up to make the peppers smaller now we'll
add them to the avocados and mix i'll be mixing each ingredient individually today because i think
it helps to make the guac more consistent rather than trying to mix all of the ingredients at once
at the end slice the tomato down the center and remove the seeds and all that liquidy gump from
each half slice the tomato into tiny chunks and once they're all sliced up i like to rough chop
them again dump them in and mix next up we have our cilantro today i'll be using two handfuls
feel free to use as much or as little as you'd like you could even reserve a little bit for
the end if you want to use it as a garnish chop up all of the cilantro until the leaves are very fine
and then we will add it to our guacamole mixture and we will mix slice the head off of an onion
then cut down the center remove the top layer and then make a cut in the center of the onion
towards the root not going all the way through lay the onion on the flat side and make it cut
almost to the root every quarter inch or so now we will slice down the edge of the onion to get
tiny fine pieces and i want them even smaller so we're going to rough chop these as well we're only
going to be using half of an onion today so add what you have to the guac and mix and maybe even
cry a little this is the only time that i cry i i promise now we're gonna roll around this lime
so that all of the juices loosen then we will cut in half and pour the juice from both halves
into our guac then carefully not like i did mix the juice into the guac i normally end up putting
in two limes but this time i thought one was good you could use your own discretion here now we're
going to be moving on to the dry ingredients i'll be using one tablespoon of garlic powder
mix it up and then we will move on to one teaspoon of salt you could always add a little bit more
salt if it isn't salty enough for you at this point we're gonna mix it up really really good now
to ensure that we have consistent bites throughout and we're done alrighty guys we've made it to the
important part of the video where i get to try this block let's just go ahead and dig right
take two cheers being fat and happy let's go ahead and try a bite
the three biggest flavors that i really get from this is the spiciness from the serrano peppers
the citrus from that lime and that earthy creamy taste that you get from the avocados
and once you mix in the onions and the tomatoes the cilantro and everything all together it's just
it's guacamole there is no other explanation than that so i told you guys to save these seeds
and that is because when you're done eating your guac dump your seeds right back in let's give it a
quick mix something about the seeds prevents the actual guacamole from oxidizing so you can just
go ahead and wrap it up put it in your fridge if you are a loyal subscriber and you've been
wondering where my barbecue videos are they're coming soon because in about two three weeks
from when you see this video i'll be in my new home and that means i'll be back on the pit
hope you guys enjoy the playoffs with this guac i'll see you guys next time
