I don't like guacamole to compete with the other dishes when preparing a Mexican feast. My tamales, beans, rice, etc. don't like the competition if the guacamole has too many ingredients; trying to steal the limelight. This is a condiment that I can throw together with very few ingredients, substituting as necessary. No chunky guacamole for me, this is creamy, delicious and simple!

SERVES 4 -5 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
1/8 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper
1/4-1/3 cup sour cream or plain nonfat yogurt (read *Note)
1 lime, juice of

Directions

1
*Note: My husband however insists on using homemade mayonnaise when prepares guacamole. I felt obligated to point that out.
2
In serving bowl, juice the lime.
3
Scoop the avocado into the bowl with the lime and lightly mash the ingredients together to stop the avocados from turning brown.
4
Next add the salt, a few dashes of pepper and the sour cream, mashing the avocado mixture with fork until very smooth. Adjust seasoning and add more lime juice if necessary.
5
Cover bowl well and refrigerate at least one hour.
6
Guacamole is best eaten within a day. Leftover guacamole doesn't exist in our household.
7
Yield: approximately 1 cup.

Reviewed during ZWT5 Mexico visit for Cheese and Whine Team A quick and easy quacamole to make. I used sour cream in my quac and garnished with a sprinkle of Mexican chile powder. A good basic quacamole recipe that you could add to if you wish .Photo also being posted.

I made this recently on a busy work night.. I really liked it. Only change I made was to add a clove of crushed garlic to give it a bit of heat. Thanks so much for sharing!

Smooth, cool and creamy.....and simple! I used the lowfat sour cream and the lime juice. I also added a bit of chopped cilantro. This is great with quesadillas or any Mexican meal, but also has endless possibilities. Tastes great as a baked potato topper or as a sandwich/wrap spread instead of mayo. Thanx for a versatile guacamole recipe. I'll whip this up often.
