How do you make Guacamole?

Raise your hand if you have eaten guacamole and chips for dinner at some point in your life. <raising my hand proudly> Well, now let me show you how to make this meal even more delicious by adding some melted cheese to the mix. If you ever tried my Buffalo Chicken Nachos or my Mexican Street Corn Nachos, you know I take nachos very seriously, so I know you will love this recipe.

I have been told that I make amazing guacamole and I want to share all my tips with you. Making guacamole from scratch is really easy and no cooking is required. You chop a few ingredients and then you combine. Here are my tips:

For one, I do not add tomatoes to my guacamole. I think there is an internet debate about whether or not tomatoes belong in guacamole and I am definitely team “no tomatoes”. I love salsa and I love pico de gallo, but I don’t like tomatoes in my guacamole. My guacamole gets all of the acidity it needs from the lime.

There has to be a good lime to avocado ratio. A good ratio brings out a fresh taste, but also adds to the creaminess of the guacamole. I have used red onion and white onion, and I don’t see a huge difference there. The important part is to not use too much, and to make sure your onion is chopped very fine. All onion, garlic, cilantro, and jalapeno should be uniformly chopped. Oh, and salt! There must be salt!

I use a 1/2 teaspoon for 2 avocados, but some people even like a little more. I would start with 1/2 teaspoon and if you feel it needs more, then you can add it. This guacamole is the perfect topping for your Guacamole Nachos!

What ingredients are in Guacamole?

• 2 Ripe Avocados
• 1/4 of a cup of finely chopped onion
• 2 large Cloves of Garlic
• 1 small Jalapeño
• 2 Limes
• 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
• 1/4 cup Cilantro Leaves loosely packed

Cheesy Delicious Guacamole Nachos

If you are making nachos, you are going to use a lot of cheese. Think back to the last time you ate or ordered nachos with a group of people. What is leftover at the end? Usually, all the chips that don’t have any cheese on them! These chips get picked over and sort of left behind. No one is interested in them. So, since you are making these yourself, you get to be in charge of the cheese.

You will want to use a standard size baking sheet for these nachos. Lay your nacho chips out on the baking sheet. You can place them on top of parchment paper if that helps you with clean-up later. Then, evenly distribute your cheese on top of your nachos. Next, bake them at 350F until the cheese has all fully melted. Some people like to wait until the cheese gets nice and bubbly and starts to brown. Ensure the cheese is fully melted and then remove them at any time after that.

Put the baking sheet on a heat-safe surface, and then scoop the guacamole into the center of the nacho platter. This will make it easy for everyone to take a cheesy nacho and then scoop up some fresh guacamole. Fresh guacamole piled high in the middle of a cheesy nacho plate, what could be better than that?
