This truly is THE best guacamole EVER. It’s the ONLY guacamole recipe you will ever need. A few fresh ingredients & you’ve got yourself the best guac in town.
Want to know the secret to making the BEST guacamole? FRESH ingredients and a couple shakes of Green Tabasco. Whenever we make guacamole, we always try to use as many ingredients from the garden as possible. You just can’t beat that fresh garden taste. Also, you don’t need a bunch of added ingredients. You don’t need a whole ton of spices– guacamole really doesn’t need to be spiced up much (and this is coming from someone who loves spicing EVERYTHING up). Kosher salt, pepper and a little green Tabasco is all you need. They green Tabasco adds just a hint of flavor that complements all the other ingredients perfectly.
I got the idea for using the green Tabasco at a restaurant here in Boise called “Barbacoa”. They make theist table side guacamole that I have ever had at a restaurant. I noticed the one thing they do differently from other restaurants is they add just a tiny bit of that green Tabasco. I tried it at home and that little tiny ingredient makes all the difference. It gives it a “zing” that puts it over the top. Mind you, this post is NOT sponsored at all. This is NOT a plug for Tabasco. This is simply what we use to turn great guacamole into the BEST guacamole.
