GuacaMolly aka Our Family’s Favorite Guacamole Recipe

Print Recipe

GuacaMolly - Guacamole with cilantro and lime

My sister, Gail, makes the best guacamole.  None of us seem to be able to recreate her guacamole recipe exactly unless she is standing over us, giving us specific instructions.  One of those times, when my brother and his family from New York were visiting, she painstakingly taught our young niece, Molly, to make this guacamole recipe so that Molly could be the East Coast family guacamole expert!  From that moment on, we have christened this recipe “GuacaMolly” in her honor.

To start, gather your ingredients:  tomatoes, lime, cilantro, salsa, garlic salt and, of course, avocados!

Guacamole Tutorial and ingredients

Slice through the avocados, around the pit with a knife and twist sliced avocado with both hands to open.  Carefully remove pits with knife; reserve one pit.  While still in the shell, slice avocado vertically then horizontally, making scores.  Scoop out pulp with spoon, transferring chunks of avocado to mixing bowl.

Next, dice tomato into small chunks.  Finely mice cilantro leaves with knife or cut with scissors; reserve a few leaves for garnish.   Place all chopped ingredients into mixing bowl.  Add salsa, garlic salt and lime and mash together with masher.  Leave a few chunks for texture unless you want perfectly smooth GuacaMolly!

This is my sister’s guacamole recipe. She makes the best Guacamole. She taught our niece, Molly, how to make it; so now we call it GuacaMolly!

  • Author: Carole from Toot Sweet 4 Two
  • Prep Time: 30 mins
  • Total Time: 30 mins
  • Yield: 2 1/2 cups 1x
  • Category: Appetizer
  • Cuisine: Mexican

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe avocados, pitted, peeled and cubed (reserve one pit)
  • 1 small tomato, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, finely diced (about 1/2 of a bunch)
  • 1/4 cup of favorite salsa
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1/4 lime
  • Tortilla Chips

Instructions

  1. Mash avocados in bowl, either with a fork or potato masher.
  2. Don’t over mash; leaving chunks is part of the appeal of GuacaMolly.
  3. Add tomato, cilantro, salsa and garlic salt and gently combine.
  4. Squeeze with 1/4 lime to prevent browning; also adding pit to bowl will help keep it from turning brown.
  5. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
  6. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.

Notes

GuacaMolly can also be serve with tacos, burritos, carne asada and other Mexican casseroles as a condiment rather than an appetizer. Don’t overdo the salsa because it will make the GuacaMolly runny. If there are leftovers, cover with plastic wrap right on top of the GuacaMolly so that no air gets in (or it will turn 50 shades of gray!) and refrigerate.
