Guacamole Recipe

[tugitime]

thumbs up if you are about to make this

[JacobCain86]

"Thanks for Tube'n in" love it...

[ChefTips]

@JacobCain86 Thanks! :)

[bryanbarut]

can i just use everything else exept celontro bcuz im allergic

[ChefTips]

@bryanbarut You can leave the cilantro out.

[ssoumya1415]

Woow .... I should say .. Chef your video was real good video. Simple & Sensible. Also, I love your tip. Does the Guacamole stay green after placing the seed in there. For how long (approximately) do you think it would stay green.

[Albqrabbit]

Beautiful, except for the pickled jalapeños, not tasty, and not traditional. And no black pepper! Please-you are already putting hot chile in it. And finally, if it needs more liquid, add more lime, or lemon juice. That's the tang you want, AND citrus juice has nutritive value. Lemons are just as nice as limes in guacamole. A few choices  for spice- red chile crush/chile pequin/fresh jalapeno/fresh serrano/fresh roasted mild-hot green chile.

[colls619]

Lol face

[HatefulDesigns]

lovely! this video improved my guacamole attempts for my girl hah. :) subed! thx a ton!

[cruiselovers86]

Thank you Chef. More Power. Chef, can you please give me a tip on how long do I need to cook a Stuff Pork chop? and what's the best ingredients for the stuffing. Thanks again Chef and more power.

[sallicio]

He forgot to mention that the number one consideration when making good guacamole is getting an avocado that is not too ripe and not under-ripe. This singular element is KEY to making good guacamole dip.

[commonrider5445]

this dude's video personality is amazing. thx for the recipe!

[rtselitesaxy]

keeping the seed does prevent it from oxidation(correct word for browning) and also lemon juice does a good job because of its acidity

[BongChamp]

Oh greeeaaat, the perfect side dish for fajitas along with sour cream, salad and bean paste. I love to prepare my Guacamole with  tomatos, small red onion, a bit lime juice, some seasoning but I will taste it with few jalapenos.

[rmbb10]

Nice.



[CelesteK]

You can omit the jalpenos can't you?

[ChefTips]

@CelesteK

Yes you can.

[MyTbradley]

@ChefTips You are simply amazing...Thanks for this ~pCe~ Tisha

[theycallmenavid]

this is a great mayo replacement for sandwiches!

[NYCNorthNJ777]

Chef, does placing the seed really prevent the guac from turning brown?

[ChefTips]

@NYCNorthNJ777

Could be an ol' wives tale. At least, it makes for good conversation.... =]

[NYCNorthNJ777]

@ChefTips LOL Hey, chef, a lil good convo doesnt hurt, eh?

[superman1113215]

so did you really throw that guacamole in the trash?

[ChefTips]

@superman1113215 Yes, it was disgusting.

[gr33nlion]

@ChefTips Lol I Agree on the store bought.. Gross.

[mickeylehuynh]

That's great. Thank you so much.

[DrunknShooter]

That looks so good I'd love that on a cheeseburger.

[ductoworld07]

how does the seed help it not turn brown?

[markostrooper1]

guacamole is 100 % mexican

not from guatemala

[wwetoystopmotion]

Actually GUAcamole comes from GUAtemala. 

[Exodent]

@wwetoystopmotion Guacamole is an American word and if you check Wikipedia and other sources it says it is Mexican also the chef says it @ 00:30 please check your sources before spouting nonsense.

[zhuhaoyue1013]

To all Chinese friends: Add some sesame oil to guacamole makes it more asian~

[mrdude80]

That's news to me about the seed in the Guac to prevent browning.

[jackburton2009]

@mrdude80 Wouldn't bother with that, just make sure you put in enough lime juice, and some plastic wrap pushed down on the surface in an airtight container.

[AnnaAguayo17]

Mexicans just squash avocado!?



[ram1chris2]

looks guud maybe better with fresh serano n red onion,,,,,

[ChefTips]

@ram1chris2 That would be terrific in this!

[juergon2]

wow that was just easy , fast and helpful thanks dude. i'll try it now!!!

[ChefTips]

@juergon2 Hope you liked it! Cheers, Jason

[TheeAustinShow]

Great vid!! great gauc!!

[ChefTips]

@TheeAustinShow Thank you!

[yacare]

I don't use jalapeños. Maybe a small green chile, but usually it's unnecessary. And I do use one small clove of garlic.

[Lyzzern]

Thank you for this, tried it today with cottage cheese, was amazing.

[Pratty78]

Great vid! Just made it... so good!

[ChefTips]

@Pratty78 Thanks!

[katewinslet]

I like adding a little cumin (not ground) into the quacamole and then letting it chill for about 20 min. for all the flavors to marinade. It gives it a distinctive flavor, but good!

[Radjehuty]

@RandomVideoesDude You can probably just let it sit out to ripe...right?

[bootalack]

I really love you !!!!

[jaytank31]

i want to know more about the seed keeping it from turning brown

[pastelmoon]

@jaytank31 Use more lime or lemon juice in your recipe to keep it from turning brown so fast

[DonPandemoniac]

Most store bought guac are abominations, you indeed really do not want to know whats in there.

Thanks for a tasty and quick recipe to make it far better yourself!

[Yuliya291077]

Made guacamole today for the first time - it had a great potential, except, the amount of juice from one lime was WAY too much. Lime taste overpowered everything. Next time I will use 1/4. Other than that, I think it's a fabulous recipe, and with a little practice will be just as great as in my favorit Mexican restaurant! Thank you, thank you!

[SteveinatorV1]

squeeze the lime....lol

[OhManTFE]

How does the seed keep it brown?

[ChefTips]

@OhManTFE

I am not 100% that it works or not. It's something that I was told years ago. Less O2 exposure and the lime juice will help it from browning as well....

Cheers!

[emir895]

OMG :) Love it best tasting ever and your right i am never buying store bought ever again.

[ChefTips]

@emir895 Thank you!

[Bloodangel979]

garlic, lemon ....no salt nor pepper...taste better try to do it!!!

[ChefTips]

@Bloodangel979 Thanks for the tip!

[ezuru1]

looks good :o i off to try some

[Goolomp]

Try adding a few boiled eggs to your guacamole its legit.

[ChefTips]

@Goolomp Interesting. Never heard of this before!

[Enriquegg]

@Goolomp no it's not

[Gunjack238]

Can you explain why the seed prevents the avocado to go brown? isnt that what the lime juice does? thanks

[Enriquegg]

@Gunjack238 because of it's size, it prevents oxygen to go through

[gerry3x]

Made this last night. Substituted white onions for the green. Came out great. Thanks for the recipe. 

[ChefTips]

@gerry3x You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

[gerry3x]

@ChefTips Hey I'm making guac again tonight. Where did you get that motorcycle. Is it a Honda Cub 50cc?

[whoamancool]

add 3 oz. of tequila for those party nights

[ChefTips]

@whoamancool

Ha ha!

[shahad1982]

I love the Recipe but i think some peaople add cumin too, am i right ?

[ChefTips]

@shahad1982 I've never added cumin, but feel free to make the recipe your own!

[MadeofBlackIce]

Mmm gonna try this one soon. Choosing an avocado is kinda tricky to me. They're always too ripe, OR not ripe at all:P

[ChefTips]

@MadeofBlackIce Hope you enjoy it. I agree about the avocados!

[jessicavm]

@MadeofBlackIce a lady told me the trick in the store.....you have to squeeze them gently holding the top and the bottom...not the sides how most people or like me used to do. They have to be firm but not hard also the top tip where they used to be holding from the tree, don't have to be sunken in or moldy looking.....

[Byrnzi360]

How does keeping the seed in the guacamole prevent it from going brown?

[ChefTips]

@Byrnzi360

There are different theories for this. I just do it because...

[skoggit]

When I make my guacamole I put in onion, diced tomatoes, cilantro, and mayonaise. The mayonaise really brings out the flavor of the guacamole! I then mix it until it has a smooth texture. Really good!

[JKarioun]

fresh ! :D

[ybba1011]

Yummy recipe and BTW gorgeous chef soo cute!!

[ChefTips]

@RandomVideoesDude They probably just aren't ripe yet.

[ManusCelerDei]

You can mash up you avacado first and its really nice smooth :)

[TheLadyK13]

I thought guacamole was gross by how it looked,but i tasted it at a party;and now I'm watching videos on how to make this dip fresh and homemade!

[ChefTips]

@TheLadyK13

You can't beat fresh homemade guacamole!

Hope you enjoy the recipe!

[TheLadyK13]

@ChefTips I did and thank you!

[mangoz69a]

@TheLadyK13 THE EXACT THING HAPPENED TO ME WTFF!

[EmilKGY]

Greetings from sweden, Chef Jeson!

I was wondering, If i prefer a smoother-textured guacamole, would it hurt this recipe somehow?

[ChefTips]

@EmilKGY

Greetings!

You can mash this into a smoother-texture if you like. The flavor will be the same.

Cheers!

[rupbe]

I'm so hungry right now.

[scottohscott]

I don't know anything about guacamole. I don't know if I've ever had it, but I love bacon, avocado, bacon gravy sandwiches. This is the first vid that comes up if you search "avocado recipes".

I'm started growing my own avocado plant just yesterday.

[ChefTips]

@scottohscott

Good luck with your tree. My in laws have one and I am glad they share! =]

[d63sx5]

I've recently moved to the US and first sampled guacamole at a local Chipotle. Being ABC (Australian-born Chinese), I've not come across guacamole often, if ever. I'm currently addicted so much so that I bought a tub from whole foods and had it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and tomorrow's breakfast. This is the greatest food item ever and I feel deprived for not having met this beauty earlier on in my life!

[ScottStalnaker]

@d63sx5 It's also very healthy!

[crunchyvanilla]

dear  can you tell me the shelf life of this dip

[ChefTips]

@crunchyvanilla I'd eat it the first day — or maybe the second.

[Bflo23]

Very nice recipe. I didn't have jalapenos so I used 3 tablespoons of salsa which had jalapenos. IMPROVISE! Here is a tip for some of you all who worried about it turning brown quickly. Extra lime or lemon on top helps but I put the guacamole in a Glad quart freezer bag and put it in the fridge. The recipe was perfect for about a quart. I pack it nicely even with 2 seeds and squeeze out the air when I lock in the seal. When I want just some guacamole, I take some out and then squeeze out the air.

[armaggedon117]

im from mexico, and you sir did it right!!!

just a tip use serrano pepper if not fresh jalapeño not those in bottle

i would use like 3 limes

[ChefTips]

@armaggedon117

Thank you! I will not dispute the use of fresh serrano peppers. =]

[yanelle2]

@armaggedon117 You are so right! I used fresh jalapeño and it's soooo good!

This is a great recipe! Thank you Chef Jason.

[ChefTips]

@jthjth12 Yes, if you want it really creamy. I still like a little chunky avocado, tomato and onion bits in mine.

[dadiddlydooda]

Lovin' your videos.

[ChefTips]

@dadiddlydooda Thanks!

[elimonjal]

I like your recipe, but I also add 1 or 2 jalapeños. on tv i saw that some restaurants add blue cheese, never tasted that though. thank you

[ChefTips]

@elimonjal Blue cheese? Hmmmm. Don't know if I'd like that. :)

[moddkilla]

This guy added those ingredients like he meant business at 1:27

[youtub3ian]

i guess you can skip celantro

[Gcole200]

I thought Jalapeno was pronounced

Hala pee-no

[BB3AST]

i cut myself with a knife trying to take the seed out of the guacamole omg i got raped with my own knife

[66Fabienne]

Very tasty!

[poolking01]

also, is silontro similar to parsley. i've never heard of it here in the UK, thanks

[kiminokami]

@poolking01 The spelling is "cilantro," but it is probably called "corriander" in the UK if my cooking shows can be trusted. It is different from parsley, but parsley would be safe to use in this dish like it would be anywhere else.

[poolking01]

i dont suppose you have a recipe for hummus do you. thankyou in advance

[ChefTips]

@poolking01

I do. But I do not have the video for it. Hummus is really easy to make.

[kasia4infamous]

@ChefTips please make a video for hummus.

[jav5252]

instead of rolling the lime you can also put in the microwave for about 10 seconds and you'll get more juice

[MsChecked]

It is really possible to eat it?

[sandi2765]

I never knew about the avocado seed, learn something new everyday. Thank you.

[nickrolars]

where is cumin:?

[ChefTips]

@nickrolars

Hello. Cumin is a spice. In it's seed form it resembles the caraway seed. I use it in it's ground form to season many Mexican dishes.

[OtterAquafina]

Really good recipe. What I do with mine is Lime Juice, salt and pepper, green onion, 3 riped avocados, 1 or 2 riped tomatoes, about a small table spoon of sour cream (adds texture), and a little bit of salsa. However, ur recipe is awesome too!!!! Another thing I would like to tell you guys is that the lime juice (or lemon juice) prevent it from turning brown. But the seed in the serving dish works great too

[ChefTips]

@OtterAquafina

Sounds good! Thanks for sharing!

[sugarcaffeine4blood]

wow... That looks fantastic... You have now added to the list of things I crave to make!

[ChefTips]

@sugarcaffeine4blood Thanks! Hope you enjoy it. Cheers, Jason

[uknouluvmoemoe]

I'll have to try the avocado seed in the mix next time. I like to make my guacamole in bulk, but never finish it all before it turns brown. :( Thanks! :)

[chisheen]

Can't hear what you're saying! Can hear the music, but the chef's audio doesn't play for me!

[MyBrEatsCats]

Wow that looks really delicious.

[ChefTips]

@MyBrEatsCats

Thanks!

[Mandis125cc2]

I'm Mexican first generation born here and to make true guacamole you use milk. yes milk that's why its kinda on the light green side. if its for fluatas its just avocados milk and salt in the blender.

[Deathincart]

this dude's a boss

[vronyka]

can I use a lemon instead lime?

[ChefTips]

@vronyka

Sure! =]

[bag3lmonst3r]

@vronyka Well if you want to be really authentic about things, you should stick to lime. I guess lemon would go well too.

[cottondino]

how long does this recipe keep for? I'm hoping to bring this to school tomorrow!

[ChefTips]

@cottondino It's best eaten fresh. If you're going to serve it the next day, be sure to add lots of lime juice.

[bag3lmonst3r]

@ChefTips Yup, I agree. You'd best prepare guacamole on the spot (and impress your mates!) If you can't, add extra citrus in there 'cause the acid helps prevent the avocado from oxidizing and looking like, uh, something less than palatable. ;)

[irvingtonatiuh]

I think this recipe is fine, but in Mexico the guacamole is done in a different way. We use chopped onions instead of green onions, and the jalapeños aren't pickled; they are fresh. Try it that way and I promise you that you will reach a better gaucamole.

P.S. The seed of guacamole is not necessary for prevent oxidation (turn dark); it's better if you use more lime juice.

[vronyka]

@irvingtonatiuh

can I use a lemon instead lime?

[IndoManiac90]

thanks man, this looks delicious. i LOVE guacamole

[ChefTips]

@IndoManiac90 Hope you enjoy it!

[kenyagoncandrade]

VERY,VERY GOOD. CONGRATULATIONS

[ChefTips]

@kenyagoncandrade Thanks!

[raw00L]

the whole "add the seed to prevent from browning" is a myth. The lime juice should do it fine.

[ChefTips]

@raw00L

If I cut a avocado in half and keep the seed in one half, it seems to take less time to brown than the half w/o the seed.

[raw00L]

@ChefTips That's because the seed prevents the oxygen from hitting the avocado. No oxygen=no oxidation. 

[thekirbyfan]

What a great tip about the avocado seed!

[hmm1704]

Thanx chef :) recipe is easy :)

[panayoga]

try to put the avocados in a bowl of raw rice, cover them with the rice and let them be,

check daily in about 2 days should be ready and ripe.

[ChefTips]

@panayoga I'll try it. Thanks!

[SerArea]

Thx man It's very spicy !! yeah !!

[mediterraneanrecipes]

Great recipe! will try it soon. thx

[Kirara9245]

Mmm. I might use this the next time I make a Mexican dinner for guests. Thank you so much. :D

[ChefTips]

@Kirara9245

Let us know! :D

[Kirara9245]

@ChefTips I actually made this today in my cooking class, as well as home-made fajitas and salsa! Thank you! The recipe actually satisfied everyone and I got a perfect grade! I'm going to try for the event happening later this week! :D Once again, thank you!

[spingelingdingdong]

I love these, but here in Sweden avocado is very expensive and usually the ones sold are tiny ones from South Africa, and they're often not ripe when sold.

I like to make guacamole but I never put cilantro in it unless it's just for myself, because almost no one here likes cilantro because it tastes identical to a common local stinkbug that ruins fruit.

I too think it tastes exactly like stinkbug but I like it anyway.

Good thing about this recipe: I got all ingredients except avo in my garden!

[howiboy]

@spingelingdingdong Wow that's crazy, I love cilantro so much. Julia Child also hates cilantro with, with a passion.

[ChefTips]

@spingelingdingdong

Thank you for sharing this!

[hidayanour]

your tips are awesome chef ! thanks again!

[ChefTips]

@hidayanour Thanks so much!

[rhosteph]

That's how I make mine too, but I use fresh jalapenos!

[howiboy]

@rhosteph Yeah gotta have fresh jalapenos, I use cerano peppers, also I put the tomato in last so it don't get mushy.

[gardini100]

almost like mine just i use red onion instead of the spring :) but i chop it real fine but not to smooth have to have some chunky bits in there to

[ChefTips]

@gardini100

Oh yeah, red onion is great to use as well. Thanks for the comment!

[ChooZeUpLadiiZ]

your so funny jason i totally agree i love guac so i can def taste when the guac is fake thats why i love home made! love your recipes!!!

[ChefTips]

@ChooZeUpLadiiZ Thanks!

[mharrigfeld]

For a drier dip, you can drain your tomatos or allow them to sit on a paper towel to get the extra moisture out. I also like to use vidalla onion if I am in the mood for chunky. Nice video by the way. Thanks for sharing!

[ChefTips]

@mharrigfeld Good tip. Thanks for the nice comment!

[healthyvegan]

Nice video - I love green onion in guacamole rather than the purple a lot of people put in. So much softer!! I posted a video reply with a video I did of guacamole with garlic & spices rather than onion & tomato.

[ChefTips]

@healthyvegan Sounds good! Thanks for sharing.

[Disturbedfan4260]

yes they are very good for you it raises your good cholesterol and lowers your bad so avocados are very good for you

[krystaleelee123]

this is how i make mine, easy no nonsense but excellent. thanks for making it a point to say how much store bought ava dip STINKS! it's all about homemade. :-)

[disissomefunnyshit]

i made it man i came out Amazing!! thanks man :D

[Preying4War]

I tried guacamole for the first time ever today...(not homemade though, I ordered a dish along with my nachos @ Boston Pizza). I liked it, not so much for it's taste, but because it was something new that seemed so exotic. I knew the main ingredient is avacado, but I could've only guessed it contained mayo, Miracle Whip, or cream cheese. I never would have guessed tomatoes, peppers, & lime juice.

What is an avacado anyway, a fruit or a veggie? Do they have a high fat content?

[ChefTips]

@Preying4War Avocados are technically a fruit, and they grow on trees. I believe they do have some fat, but it's good fat!

[Bigactor1]

@ChefTips I totally agree!!!!!! :)

[MLee1692]

Nice one Chef Jason!

Although, I like to use red onion instead of spring onion for guacamole.

[ChefTips]

@MLee1692 Red onion is great in this. It's all a matter of preference. Enjoy!

[yippee42]

Thankyou sir for having such grace as to enlighten our minds/stomach.Video very appreciated.

[ChefTips]

@yippee42 Thank you so much!

[GeiserAlexis]

[GeiserAlexis]
