Series Summary

Guacamole is Mexican dish made from avocados that was created as a dip for chips or to be put on other dishes like fajitas or tacos. There are many types of guacamoles which call for different ingredients, but all make great use of the avocado. Guacamole can also be used with eggs for a great Mexican breakfast, and makes a great snack at your next football party.

He shows you how to pick the best avocado, a great trick for removing the avocado seed, how to cut and scoop and avocado, and then how to mash it up, and add ingredients like onions, jalapeño juice and cilantro. He also shows you how to make your own homemade chips from corn tortillas, how to fry them and prepare them for the guacamole topping.

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village this is Ian McSwain of Passion Foods in Miami, Florida and today we're showing you a quick and easy Mexican recipe. Today I'm going to be making guacamole. Today I'm going to be making a Mexican dish, a crowd favorite at parties and I love it because I love avocados. Here in Miami this time of year we have a bunch of avocado trees and this is when they're fresh and today I'm going to be using Florida avocados opposed to Haas avocados that come from California. They're a little different, they're different in size in shape, slightly different in shape and their flavor. I think Haas avocados have a richer flavor than these, these are a bit watery but still they're larger, you get more fruit. I think they have better value."
