    Ingredients

    • Large Ripe Avocados
    • Red Onion

    • Tobasco Sauce
    • Worcestershire Sauce
    • Minced Garlic

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    This recipe is so simple and quick that it'll blow your mind at how amazing it is.

    Poblano peppers being diced on a wooden cutting board.

    Step 1: Prep all your ingredients and mash the avocado in a bowl using a fork. Be sure to leave some chunks for textural purposes.

    Hot sauce being added to a bowl of fresh guacamole.

    Step 2: Add the onion, poblano, lemon & lime juice, Tobasco, Worcestershire, Garlic, Salt, and Pepper to the bowl. Stir the ingredients together until thoroughly combined.

    Serve fresh, or cover with plastic wrap pressed all the way down on the guacamole to ensure no air touches it.

    Expert Tips

    • The most important part of this recipe is getting the avocados to the perfect ripeness. If they aren't ripe enough, your Guacamole will be flavorless, and if they're too mature, the flavor and texture will be off.
    • When shopping for your avocados for Guacamole, test them by feeling. They aren't ripe enough if they are super hard and there's no give. They're good to go if there is a little softness, but if they're super soft, they are too ripe and won't make great Guacamole.
    • If you prefer a smoother and creamy guacamole, add all the ingredients to a high-powered blender. The results are also fantastic!
    • If you are looking for a unique way to use homemade guacamole, try serving it on this Blackstone Churrasco Italiano Sandwich instead of sliced avocado.

    Recipe FAQs

    Where did Guacamole Originate?

    In the 14th century, the Aztecs created Guacamole and named it based on its main ingredient and use. They called it ahuacamolli, which is a combination of Avocado and sauce. Later on, down the road, as the Spanish started enjoying the Aztec dip, the name transformed into Guacamole.

    How to ripen Avocado faster?

    Place the avocados into a brown paper bag with an apple or banana, which speeds up the ripening process. This can take up to 3 days, so be sure to plan, but this will allow you to bring them to the exact ripeness you want.

    How to Store Guacamole?

    The best way to store guacamole if you aren't serving it right away or have leftovers is by quickly placing the Guacamole into a Tupperware or plastic container. Then, cover it with plastic wrap by pressing the wrap down so no air can touch the Guacamole. Lastly, place the lid air-tight on the container.

    Avocados oxidize when sliced open, like a peeled potato, which gives it a nasty-looking brown color. By keeping the air away, you can prevent this from happening. The Guacamole will be good in the fridge for about 3-4 days, but it's best served right after making it.
