GREAT RECIPE & I'M NOT A GUACAMOLE FAN
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made this b4 the big game started and my husband snucked a taste and he loved it. I thought it was a bit spicy but... after awhile it was just right. The lime juice that was supposed to be drained didnt exist after I stirred it with the avocado. I ran out of cumin so I used powdered pasilla chili and it was still delicious. Had to use cherry tomatoes instead of roma. Still had a wonderful taste. I would make this again and also used it on other dishes. Read more

I've never liked store-bought guacamole, but this guacamole is amazing! I use 1/4 onion instead of 1/2. Husband and... mother-in-law love it! :)Read more
