How to make Guacamole & Chips!

[emilysmommy4ever2009]

OMG I love all of your videos.Your so funny, I use to not like guacamole dip BUT I made yours and now I love it..Plz keep making cooking videos there so nice to watch.

[johnz281994]

I make mine almost exact except I use sour cream instead of mayo

[Praxxus55712]

@johnz281994 I can't use sour cream or I'd eat the whole container. I am a HUGE fan of sour cream on everything.......except cereal. :)

[baconsoda]

Hey Ray... my wife and I don't like guacamole but ended up with 2 avocados today. I remembered you doing this recipe and hunted it out thinking 'it can't be any worse than other guacamole we've tried'. Well, I had to improvise a bit but the end result was excellent and I think it is the addition of mayo because your guacamole didn't taste like any others I've tried. It was richer, nuttier and had a lovely spiciness. Great job, this is in our recipe file and it is hard to get in there.

[Praxxus55712]

@baconsoda Remember, it's for dipping chips in......not for wearing as a hat. :)

[BearStar1]

One is suppose to lightly season with salt ANY fried foods, including Tortilla Chips, whether Corn or Flour! Chef Emeril Lagasse of '' Emeril Live ! " on the Food Network channel and the Cooking Channel always says that one MUST lightly Salt anything that has been fried, Always!!!

[TricityX]

mmmm and diced tomatoes! Your recipe videos always make me so hungry! lol

[MissFcmz]

lol!!! "I should be fat"

[metalnga]

I use sour cream instead of mayo, but I'm sure that works great! Great recipe!!

[odiliacarmen]

You are funny man! Wouldn`t try your recipe though.

[studentinlearning]

Don't you need to add lemon to keep it from browning?

never mind, I didn't wait long enough.

[Praxxus55712]

@studentinlearning Lemon juice or powdered ascorbic acid works fine if you plan on storing it for any length of time. If you plan on using it right away you don't need those.

[studentinlearning]

Don't you need to add lemon to keep it from browning?

[siimadoll]

This looks soooo good. Yummy.

[spunknchunky]

make a good pico then add it to avocados, this makes the best guaco

[SenorEd]

I bet you're a hit when you host parties. Good post. I have my own recipe for guacamole but I'll keep that to myself!

[Praxxus55712]

@SenorEd keeping it to yourself = no fun. You should share it. Don't make me send all 2,600 subscribers to your house to steal your recipe. :)

[bornlatinqueen0104]

ahh i actually had an ovacado tree grow..just never fruited..but than again had for just 2 yrs...

[BOBCOMproductions]

That looks delicious! Did you ever try growing an avocado tree?

[Praxxus55712]

@BOBCOMproductions I grew one ages ago indoors while living in Seattle. My puppy knocked it down, dragged it through the house, ate the leaves and then took a nap on the stalk. I really got my money's worth out of THAT little tree. lol

ps: I'll be growing another avacado tree probably next year when I have more room indoors.

[BOBCOMproductions]

@Praxxus55712 Oh my gosh. Was your dog sick after that? The pit, leaves, stem, bark are poisonous to cats, dogs, and many other animals because it contains a fatty acid called persin.

[gameplay1999]

if i wanted to plant an avacodo tree in my backyard and i left it there for the winter.

Would the entire tree dye? i live in southern ontario Canada

[Praxxus55712]

@gameplay1999 My bet is it would die a miserable death. Avacado trees do not handle cold well at all.

[TABULOUS1]

Yeah, I'd add the fresh cilantro, tomatoes--&onion too.

(wipes drool away with back of hand)

I never thought of making the chips. I'm completely enamored by your videos.

Lucky 4u, I'm almost caught up, so I can better police how much I harass u in the comments.

PS: U better NOT stop talking so much when you make them. It would suck to miss out on the tidbits of gems that you sprinkle throughout.

[ForbiddenStallion]

Fantastic video, thank you for posting. My only suggestion would be to use fresh garlic.

[marycooks]

Mayo, Fruit Fresh wow! Can't wait to try this. Nice presentation. Do you ever add chopped fresh tomatoes to your guacamole?

[Praxxus55712]

I've added tomatoes........and I LOVE tomatoes (can you tell by all of my tomato vids? lol) but I dunno why I'm just not fond of tomatoes in guacamole. I mean I'll definitely eat it if there's tomatoes in it but I won't eat more than a gallon of it. *big grin*

[JoeHell67]

Hi,

i will definitely try this guacamole recipe on the weekend!

btw. why didn't you use 'fresh' garlic? Don't you grow that in your garden? ;-)

Joe from Germany

[Praxxus55712]

I had fresh garlic, but for some reason I like the taste of granulated garlic in guacamole. My taste buds must be a bit fried. lol

[AugustusLarch]

You have hella avacados. There is a bumper crop on those. You got the right idea.

I clean the avacado the same way.

I can't use the onions in mine. I'm allergic. I don't use seasoned salt either it has MSG (behavior modifyer).

The mayo is a fine trick. Good call. Some people put eggs in guac. Mayo sounds better.

Deep fry tortillas. That's resourcfull. I mix them from batter. It takes forever.

Nice ideas and presentation.

Awesome.

[804holla]

my goodness, the southern girl in me loves your mayo addition! can't wait to try it...they are on sale at my wally world too.

[shweetpotato]

Those Flour Tortilla chips are good with a lil cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on top too

[Praxxus55712]

shweetpotato, You are 100% right! Almost everything on the planet tastes delicious with cinnamon and sugar! Even cinnamon and sugar taste better when sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. *big cinna-sugar smile*

[DizzyMalfoy]

"I don't even wanna get into Miracle Whip" I seriously could not stop laughing after I heard that. My mom came to check on me because she thought I lost my mind. You know, when your video started, not only did I think "another recipe video? Why isn't he fat?" but I thought your "Even if you don't like it, watch it?" was extremely adorable. Thank you for making a video for us. :D

[Praxxus55712]

*coughs up an Avacado pit*

omg no more avacados please!!!! LOL

[ShadowVampira]

Hmm, should have left that pit in your tummy. Then you would have become a walking talking avocado tree. Reminds me of the guy who had a pine tree growing in his lung. But, we rarely eat avocados in my home. They're so expensive in the grocery stores and they usually look ugly. :(

[ShadowVampira]

I totally didn't realize I responded to you in my other youtube account. I'm DizzyMalfoy, btw. Have two youtube accounts. :P Now I feel like a nerd. *walks away with her head down*

[mombol39]

Thanks for the vid...always looking for new recipes and this one sounds great.

Tried of the *#@# snow! We had 2 storms back to back last several weeks of 30 + inches. Looking through my seed box right now and going to start some this weekend..can't wait til your next vid..you make me laugh...thanks!

[Praxxus55712]

mombol39, I'll be making a vid on Spring Rolls in a couple weeks. They're so good that I just wanna roll around in them...........ok that sounded creepy. :)

[mombol39]

Just a little creepy...I think winter is getting to you...me too! FYI I used the "squeezing" method today and it worked really well...thanks! :)

[shoiz1krzylilsan]

thats the same way how i cook my chips

[zasvedogovore]

i`ll tell my kids: Watch this! A frog with a white t shirt sucked by a propulsion motor, flying thru cillantro bush.

The older (6) will figure it out, I say: Dad...

TY for video,

when do we start seeds, bud?

[Praxxus55712]

zasvedogovore, The next video is about growing things and starting inside. I'll be doing more vids on that soon too. In my area the planting time isn't till mid to late May. You never know though. I might just snap and end up out in the garden in 2 feet of snow with the rototiller and garden hose. LOL

[Duney69]

You brightened up my day today!! Great Video!

[MyLittleGreenThumb]

thank you! This looks great, I am gonna do it the same way but add copped up chives on the top...yummmmy!

[Wizechris1]

how does guacolmole even taste?

[Praxxus55712]

Wizechris1, it has a smooth, creamy mild taste........sorta buttery in a way but not tasting like butter. I guess this sound confusing but it's a great taste. Not strong or overpowering. Very mild.

[SimplyJourney]

"i should be fat" lol i friggin adore u

[niffer58]

hahaha.... got a good laugh at the end from a few of my kids watching... You are funny as always.. :) it looks good. think i will try that out.. and yes i agree Sour cream goes with Everything

[steen1973]

Mayo is an interesting twist. I'll have to try that. Good to see you in a new video again!

[Praxxus55712]

lostkid19, I changed the keywords. :)

*hums the hampsterdance song*

[jihadacadien]

50cents!!! I can rarely find good avocados here saddly. I never put onions in my guacamole must be good!

[crewlla]

how much oil did you use and could you use olive oil? How many tortelas did you use? could you put shredded orange chesse on top of sour cream and add some chives? I am diffently going to try this recipe.

[Praxxus55712]

crewlla, I used about 2 cups or so. I fried 3 tortillas but coulda fried lots more. Shredded cheese and chives go well on ANYTHING as far as I'm concerned. LOL

[c140075]

share with a couple of people? yeah right, everyone else can get their own, that bowl is MINE!

[crewlla]

it so nice to see you again. thanks for the vid.

[NY5Quest]

Looks delicious! Your always entertaining. Love watching your video's.

[mywootgarden]

thanks for sharing!! those look so yummie!! i cant wait to make some! great to see another one of your vids theyre allways so fun thanks :)

[jmaprins]

Love guacamole!! I peel my avacado's the same way :-)

[berean73]

Looks great, I have done that with flour tortillas before! In the southwest we add diced up tomatoes to the mix... mmm good. Thanks!

[gaburley]

Okay, I will give avacados another try (and then another, and another, and so on).

Be poor, be debt free and live happy

Glenn

[Praxxus55712]

burtoncharlessmith, they're flour. It's a really cool change from the usual corn tortillas.

ps: Thanks for asking. I totally forgot to mention it in the vid. I was high on avacado fumes. :)

[Greengate777]

Oh great! Now Im gonna have to get dressed, go out in the snow, shuffle along to the store with the icy wind blowing in my face, and buy some damned avocados... I do think that all TV, and by extension Youtube cooks are a bunch of sadists... P.S. I refrain from making any comments about you being into the easiest way to do just about anything....LOL ... I do have a dirty mind sometimes but hey! At least its interesting inside my head...

[Praxxus55712]

Greengate777, "get dressed"? So umm.......you watch my videos......nekkid?

LOL

ps: Just messing with ya. :)

[curtatlanta]

Great recipe, thanks.

[driverain2]

I'm so hungry now...................
