How to Make Guacamole the Easy Way

 

Mexican food and I are very good friends. I don’t know why I like it so much. Some people say that it all tastes the same. I can see the point, in a way, but I still don’t agree. There’s nothing like chicken fajitas or chile rellenos. Mmmm.

 

Believe it or not, sometimes I make the decision on what I’m ordering at a restaurant, based on if it comes with guacamole or not. If it does, chances are that I’ll give it a try. If it doesn’t, I’ll search the menu until I find something that does.

 

Years ago, I discovered the fast, cheaters way to make guacamole at home. It tastes so close to real guacamole, most people would never know the difference.  And I can make it in minutes!

 

This batch was made with my cute little helper…..

How to Make Guacamole the Easy Way

Easy, I tell you.

 

Now, let me tell you a couple of tips. You’ll see in this picture that the stuff on the right is more brown than the stuff on the left. The guacamole on the right was made with an older avocado. In order to get a good green color, you’ll need to make sure your avocado isn’t too mushy or old. Of course, too firm isn’t good either, or it’ll be impossible to mash.

Another tip. If you’d like it to keep it’s nice green color, leave the seed in the middle of the guacamole. I’m storing mine in the refrigerator with the seed in it, so it doesn’t look too scary when we pull it out. The longer it is exposed to air, the more brown it will turn (kind of like apples and bananas), but the seed combats that for a period of time.

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
