  • What Chef Roberto Santibañez wants cooks to realize about guacamole is this: "There is a very important textural thing to guacamole -- we never really mush up the avocado. You want to feel everything." GET THE RECIPE ►► f52.co/2YGkgt9

    This Mexican chef knows what's up. From going into depth about Nahuatl and explaining the name guacamole. Awesome recipe!

    Watching the technique on cutting the jalapeno was a surprise payload!
    I don't make much guacomole...but I do make my almost-famous hot-pepper relish with jalapenos, seranos, green tomatoes and onions in a sweet pickle mix. I grind the hot peppers in a commercial grinder....and when they are spicy the vapors will give you vapors.
    Thank you for demonstrating your wonderful recipe and methods.

    I followed along but chopped all the "sauce" ingredients in a mini-food processor (everything but the avocado). Worked out fine, and if I were in a fast paced restaurant situation I would definitely do it that way. Not sure I agree with the cilantro comment about adding the stems removes the soap taste experienced by some. Only some people get the soap taste (Ina Garten, for one), and it's due to a gene (which thankfully, I don't have).

    After making quite a few salsas and guacamoles, and avocado and tomatillo salsa, I learned that another extremely important ingredient is WHITE onion.
    Cannot emphasize enough that it has to be white. Any other onion way to bitter /pungent and completely ruins fresh salsas and guacamoles.

    I grew up with avocados and guacamole. The first recipe I was ever given (in my mid-teens) used ketchup!!! Yikes. Everyone I made it for loved it. Everyone, that is, except me. ;) When I got a little older, it dawned on me that I didn't need that sweet, tomato-y stuff in my guac. Heh. It's amazing what we get used to when we get off on the wrong foot. Think for yourself and eat food the way you like it and, in this case, the way it should be eaten. /;))) I should probably say that we had always eaten our avocados by slicing them in half, removing the pit and putting something akin to a vinaigrette in the hollow, one half per person, as a first course. The ketchup-using recipe came from an aunt who had "picked it up" in Vera Cruz -- may have started out there as diced tomato...
