Cilantro and ground pepper are unnecessary and not authentic, if that matters to you. For one avocado, process some onion, 1 clove garlic, salt, and enough Crystal hot sauce, and lemon or lime juice to make a paste, then mash with a fork. The final product should be chunky. The Mexicans use “limón reál”; in its absence, either lemon or lime is acceptable. Tabasco has too much vinegar flavor, and too much heat. If the rest of the meal is properly picante, you don’t need chile.

Joseph — My brother makes it the ‘authentic’ way and style you’d see at most restaurants which is very good. Thanks for the tips! If you’re ready to try something different, this guacamole is for you. Warning: It’s hard to go back.

Justin - you could do that — just wash your hands before you go to the bathroom.
The jalapeño can be diced up in their as well, (thanks for pointing out the misprint) sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t — depending on how much heat I want - it’s optional.

Bottled sauces are authentic and cilantro isn’t? Bushwa. Keep the cilantro and put some of your own good salsa in it.
I also prefer serranos to jalapenos, and the onion needn’t be red.

David - I prefer red simply because it gives the green guac a pop of color. Cilantro makes everything better!

My little brother came home with this recipe and I’ve never had better (or easier).
1 Avacado
Salsa
Cayenne pepper
A dash of lemon juice if you are in the mood
Mix and mash all of them together. Serve and enjoy!
Seriously, this recipe spoiled me for all other place’s guacamole. How sad.

A bit of sour cream goes really well in guac too, but it’s highly UNAUTHENTIC

Ditto on the sour cream guac tip. It may not be “authentic”, but that’s just because they probably didn’t have refrigeration back when they were trying to figure out what to do with all the stinkin’ avocados. We also stopped riding horses and mules to work…progress is good!
By the way, a pinch or two of sugar is awesome in guac. Try about a teaspoon and then just adjust the taste to your personal liking.
