I first made guacamole from "Joy of Cooking" for New Year’s Eve 2001. It was the first New Year’s Eve with Heather and Ryan and their children at Mom and Dad’s house. Mom bought English crackers—bright foil tubes with party hats and toys inside—for each of the children.
In 2014, I began using the recipe from the 2006 edition.
Place avocados in a bowl and mash to a coarse consistency with fork, potato masher or pastry blender.
Stir in lime juice, onion, cilantro or parsley, garlic, hot pepper sauce, and salt, with olive oil and jalapeño peppers if using. Taste and adjust seasonings. More lime juice, salt or hot pepper sauce may be needed.
Gently stir in tomatoes.
Serve at room temperature.
"Joy of Cooking" notes: "Serve guacamole as a dip with tortilla chips or cut-up raw vegetables, as a filling for tacos, or as a topping for grilled poultry or fish. In the place of Hass avocados, 1 very large or 2 medium smooth-skinned Florida avocados can be used, but the guacamole will be less flavorful."
I prefer to omit the olive oil, and to use sriracha sauce for the hot sauce. When using this recipe for the guacamole in Seven-layer Dip, I omit the tomatoes.
