Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine peeled avocados, garlic salt, red crushed peppers, and onion powder.
- Blend with a potato masher until well mashed and all avocado chunks are gone.
- Add diced tomato, green chiles, chopped onion, lemon juice, and El Pato to the avocado mixture.
- Mix all ingredients until well combined.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use a fork instead of a potato masher. If you prefer a spicier dip, consider adding diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce. You can substitute lime juice for lemon juice for a different citrus flavor. If fresh tomatoes are out of season, canned diced tomatoes can work well as a substitute. This guacamole pairs beautifully with Mexican recipes like Mark's Vegetarian Chili.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this guacamole dip with tortilla chips, fresh veggie sticks, or as a topping for tacos and burritos. It also complements dishes like Gazpacho(Mexican Soup, Cold) or can be used as a spread on sandwiches. For a festive presentation, sprinkle some additional diced tomatoes or chopped cilantro on top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover guacamole in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before sealing the container. It is best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to reheat, gently warm it in a microwave for a few seconds, stirring to avoid overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this guacamole ahead of time?
Yes, you can make guacamole a few hours in advance. To maintain freshness, cover it tightly with plastic wrap to minimize exposure to air. This will help prevent browning. However, it's best enjoyed fresh, so try to prepare it close to serving time if possible.
What can I use instead of El Pato?
If you don't have El Pato, you can substitute it with any good-quality Mexican tomato sauce or even a bit of salsa for added flavor. Just be mindful of the seasoning, as some sauces may be saltier or spicier than El Pato.
How can I make the guacamole spicier?
To add more heat, include finely chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers to the mix. Alternatively, a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce will elevate the spice level without overpowering the other flavors.
