I made my own version of Guacamole but made the cumin chips and they were AWSOME! I won't buy a store bought bag of torillia chips again. I made these as the recipe called for and put them in a tight covered container, and they were still fresh and crispy after a week. What a great way to use up the bottom of the corn tortilla pack. I can always count on great recipes from Bobby!

I add some fresh garlic to this recipe and it is awesome! I've taken it to several parties and it's always a hit. Love this guac!

I've been using Bobby's basic avocado relish recipe since his first cookbook as the basis for my guac. I now use chipotle puree instead of minced jalapeno (easier on the stomach for some. Agree that two limes is at least one too many, at least based on the ones I get here in Florida. I finish my guac with a little bit of fresh-squeezed orange juice to provide a sweet counterpoint to the heat of the chipotle, and it works like a champ.

YUMMM. Great with chips! I don't think it is too much lime, maybe some other think that because it says to use 1 lime but in the video, he actually uses half of the lime. You gotta watch the video first! It always helps!!

Avacado + air = YUCK. To keep your guac from browning if you are making it in advance... When you make it, don't add the lime. Instead mix it like you normally would, put it in your storage container and drop it on the counter to try and get out any air pockets. Smooth the top will with the back of a spoon. Add the lime juice on top, then take some plastic wrap and starting in the middle, press it gently on the top easing out any air as you work it toward the edges of the container. Press the wrap on the edges of the container then put your top on it and refrigerate. It will be beautiful and green when you take it out, just stir in the lime juice and serve.

I think this recipe is a tad heavy on the lime (1 is plenty. I also add a pinch of cumin and chili powder. Some really good stuff :

If you want a genuine guacamole, this is a great recipe. Basically the same that Alice Waters makes except she uses scallions for the onion. If you prefer a guacamole with a ton of different inagredients, you may not appreciate this one that truly focuses on the avocado.

First off, I love Bobby Flay! However, I have to agree with the other reviewer who said they expected more. I used 5 or 6 avocados, and only 2 limes, and the lime juice was still overwhelming. I spent the rest of the time fidgeting with the ingredients trying to bring the guac back into balance. I added a bunch of garlic powder. Aside from the bitterness of the limes, I found it to be bland (although I did love the jalapeno!. I think guac is an individual taste, so I will keep looking for a better recipe.
