Kitchen notes

This green chile guacamole is so creamy, rich, and good – but there are some simple steps to take to make sure it is solid, every time!

Add Lemon or Lime

Don't skimp on the lemon or lime juice.

The acid helps to cut the onion flavor, but it also help to keep the avocados from turning brown as it oxidizes, much like it helps with keeping apples from looking gross and brown as they sit out.

If you are making this ahead of a party, you could assemble it without the avocados and add them right before serving, or add lemon or lime juice and covering in a small, airtight container.

How to Reduce Onion Flavor

One note- the onion can be STRONG in chili since it isn't cooked.

If you prefer red onions go for it!

If want a less-onioney flavor, you could use less (1/4 an onion would be good), or sub out fresh onion for a tablespoon onion powder.

You can also add some fresh garlic or garlic powder for an extra kick- and lime juice is another great variation!

Keeping leftovers

The best way to store guacamole is to give it aa bath!

We know it sounds silly, but pressing air out of a plastic bag and then “sealing” it from taking on more oxygen is a easy way to keep guacamole fresh and green in the refrigerator for leftovers.

You can use powder to keep avocados from turning brown that help stop the oxidation process, but the method below works like a charm, too!

1. Put the guacamole into a container with a tight fitting lid, or a plastic bag.
2. Get rid of any air pockets in the plastic bag – or cover top of container (under lid) with plastic wrap.
3. Carefully pour about a half inch of water over the top of the guacamole to prevent additional air from coming into contact with the avocado.
4. Refrigerate, covered tightly, for up to two days maximum.

1. In a large bowl, add tomatoes and can of diced tomatoes with green chills and mix.
2. Cut avocados in half and remove pit.

4. Mash with a potato masher until soft and creamy, mixing as you go.
