Tell me how to make guacamole?

[Discounted]

When I make it, with a ripe avocado, chilli, lemon, garlic, salt and pepper, it's always really bland and tasteless. What am I doing wrong?

Cumin

Lime juice not lemon. Add more salt. Finely chopped, deseeded tomatoes.

I've used this recipe before and it's pretty good. It has lime, red onion and fresh coriander in it. Cumin sounds good though too.

Yes yes to red onion and coriander also. Forgot those!

Mine is:

red onion / crushed garlic / red chilli / coriander / lime juice / avocado / loads of black pepper / salt

I don't like tomatoes in it.

I don't like tomatoes or onion in it!

Garlic, lots of lime juice, lots of chilli, lots of coriander and a sprinkling of vair posh roasted chilli garlic salt someone bought me for my birthday...

Fresh coriander

Really? I've always thought I don't like coriander but have never made nice guacamole....
This might be my duh moment

Best Guac ive ever had was made in front of me so I know exactly what went into it:
Ripe avocadoes
Rock salt
Tonnes of lime juice
Red chilli
Coriander

That's it. Amazing

Coriander is the herb of wonder - bloody love the stuff.

It's not guac without coriander - it's just mushed up avocado. Which may indeed still be lovely, I just had some with ham for lunch. But it wasn't guacamole.

Mine is the same as GoodToes but with a couple of ripe tomatoes chopped up in it too. Does need plenty of lime, fresh coriander and salt with or without the toms though.

Oh and don't blitz it, just smash with a pestle or a fork so it's still quite chunky.
