Josh's Famous Guacamole


Again, a post and recipe from my awesome sister Jessica. Josh is her husband and he is awesome too. Not only is he a talented artist and an incredible Dad, he is a master in the kitchen.


Josh’s Famous Guacamole

Josh has experimented with his guacamole quite a bit and has finally developed a recipe he loves. And I love it. And so does everyone who’s ever tasted it. Many people agree that it is one of the best guacamoles they’ve ever tasted. It has definitely ruined some other guacamoles for me. Josh’s Famous Guacamole is most often eaten at our house with Heather’s fajitas, but was a great accompaniment to the Bacon and Black Bean Quesadillas.


3-5 Avocados

3-4 Roma Tomatoes, diced

½ Large Red Onion, diced

½ bunch Cilantro

2-3 Tbsp. Lemon Juice

Garlic Salt, to taste

Chipotle Powder, to taste (Josh prefers chipotle powder, but you can also use 2-4 Serrano Chilies. Make sure to remove the seeds and wear gloves!)

Black Pepper, to taste


Cut the avocados in quarters. Throw out the pit and peel the skin. Combine the avocados, diced tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Mix. (Josh’s mixes it by hand so he can squish the avocados. We like chunky guacamole.) Add the lemon juice. Mix again. Mix in garlic salt, black pepper and chipotle powder one at a time. In between adding each seasoning, do a little taste check to make sure the flavor is where you like it. Go easy on the chipotle powder because it packs a powerful punch.


Use with: fajitas, burritos, tacos, quesadillas, taquitos, chips, 7-layer dip, turkey sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, burgers . . . you get the idea!
