I had that for supper. Very yummy. :9

If you can name something better - do it! :D

1. Yes. My guacamole on anything.
Preferably a chip or a spoon.

:hi:

2. Is is a secret recipe?
Spill it!

BTW, I'll be making more later this week for chips, too. AALette asks for it sometimes. She saw what I was eating and decided she needed some soon.

7. pinch of this, dash of that
it involves garlic salt and fresh lemon

:9 mmm guacamole

Haven't made a good batch since I left California. Avocados cost a hundred dollars each out here, and they all suck.

8. Here's the only guacamole recipe you will ever need.
I live in The Big Avocado (San Diego) and I promise this recipe will win over anyone.

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 lime
1 large or 2 small cloves garlic
1/4 cup green taco sauce - not red
4 large Haas avocados, very ripe
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)
Fresh tortilla chips

Use only Hass avocados - do not use Fuerte, Bacon or Zutano avocados. Pinkerton avocados are acceptable if Hass are not available, but the results are best by far with Hass. When fully ripe, the avocados will be completely black on the outside, and soft but not squishy.

Squeeze juice from the lime into a bowl. Cut the squeezed lime peel in a few pieces, and drop into the lime juice. Add salt and mash lime peel down. Allow to sit for a few minutes to let the lime oil come out of the peel. Then discard the lime peel.

Use only fresh garlic. Mash the garlic with a garlic press, then add to lime juice mixture. Add the green taco sauce. A can of diced mild green chiles can be substituted for the taco sauce. Use a stronger taco sauce if you want it more spicy, but do NOT use red taco sauce or red chilis, as they will ruin the bright green color of the guacamole. Stir mixture until thoroughly mixed.

Cut avocados in half and remove pits. If there is any brown flesh on the inside, cut that away. The green areas in the same avocado is still perfectly usable. Using a knife, dice the avocado flesh while still in the shell, then scoop out with spoon and into the lime juice mixture.

Add diced avocado to the mixture, and stir just until it blends in. It should still have hundreds of tiny chunks of avocado throughout, it should not be a completely smooth paste. If you are a salt fiend, taste the guacamole and if it is not salty enough for you, add 1/4 teaspoon more salt. But the tortilla chips will also supply salt. Do not add cumin! Do not add tomatoes! If you like cilantro, chop it and add it in, but if you don't like cilantro, just omit it, it will be fine without it.

Cover tightly and refrigerate for one hour. Serve within 4 hours of making it - it will only last one day. Serve with the freshest tortilla chips you can get - go to a Mexican bakery if possible. This recipe never fails - set it down at a party and watch it vanish within minutes.

5. I like bacon on burgers sometimes
but I don't know if I could mix the two. I'm kinda picky that way.

9. If the bacon is nice and crisp, it provides a great textural contrast to the guac.

10. And I thought I was the only one who liked both bacon and guacamole on her burger!
Have you tried adding a few sliced, sauteed mushrooms on top? Delicious!!!

12. Avocado on a sandwich is pretty good, too. No mayo. Avocado instead.
Lox in an omelet is pretty good, with avocado on the side.

16. Hmmm, interesting
I could give that a try.

I also would like to try Alton Brown's avacado on sardines, too, but can't get up the nerve.

22. Yes. Avocado slices and bleu cheese.
And the burger must be at least medium rare. Preferably very rare. A teeny drizzle of Worcestershire sauce adds perfection. :9

23. oddly enough, pesto!
Applebee's (of all places) had a mozzarella and basil pesto burger that was heavenly - and I rarely eat burgers...

24. That is a good burger...
...even though, like many of Applebee's special burgers, it probably had a brazilion calories.

28. Yum, I bet that's good, never had it on a burger.
I like Swiss and mushrooms and bacon on mine.

Maybe I'll grill some burgers tonight...

29. Heaps of sauteed mushrooms, with a touch of soy sauce
on a good burger.

Guac on burgers and turkey sandwiches and everything else is a close second.

33. I love guacamole. I love burgers.
But not the combo.

The only thing I must, must, must have on a burger, even if there is nothing else, and many times there isn't...
