Instead of corn tortilla chips, I used pieces of crispy bacon to dip and scoop up guacamole. Delish!

Nice easy classic recipe!
Another good tortilla replacement for dipping: raw jicama, peeled and thinly sliced. This root vegetable resembles a cross between an apple and a potato in taste and texture. Crisp-crunchy and just slightly sweet.

Fewer carbs if you swap white onions for shallots and tomatoes for red chillies (deseeded and finely chopped) - gives it a nice kick, too :D I have mine with cheddar 'crisps' - yummy!

And what about the garlic? Is it just for show?

I was on auto pilot and just minced the garlic in, along with the onion.
Another thing you can dip into the guacamole is pork rinds (chicharrones). I like the hot & spicy, 0 carbs. You can also crush up the rinds and use in ground beef as a filler or to coat chicken, after coating with the homemade mayonnaise, like breadcrumbs. Fry in butter or bake.

This guac is awesome. I wish I could eat some on tortillas, but the pork rinds sound like a real good option. Thanks Bob. ^ ^

I'm happy to have another reason to eat pork rinds

Just made this version, and am learning I may not be a fan of my organic olive oil (every day a new revelation) used the white onion and tomato but would try shallot/chili pepper.
I used a small blender with 3 halve's of defrosted avo, mixed in oil, bottled lime juice and olive oil to fine pulp. This is when I discovered I could taste the olive oil and was a bit underwhelmed.
So added the other half avo chopped 3 cherry tomatoes, more lime, lots of salt and pepper. Used dice slider on a mandolin to finely chop the onion. Then used a fine grater (a la the divine Ms Nigella Lawson) to grate the garlic. And then scoffed with pork scratchings (not zero carbs and very hard to find widely in UK, but a tolerable amount) and cream cheese. Now have lunch or dinner for the next few days too.Overall, one of the better recipes I've found for a keto guac on line.

Cloves, lime juice, onion and tomato all have carbs.

Rae Callaway, that isnt guacamole you are speaking of, that's an avacado recipe.

That isnt guacamole you make. That sounds more like another way to prep an avocado.

Definitely lime. Lemon must be the typo.

We made Keto tortilla chips from the tortilla recipe on this site. We just rolled them thinner for chips. Great chips and works baked or fried.

It’s definitely the rest of the ingredients, mostly tomatoe and onion but as someone else already pointed out, this is not guacamole.
Guacamole consists of:
Avocado
Garlic
Cumin powder
Salt
Lemon or lime (whatever your preference)
Can not specify amounts, add spices to your taste.
Adding tomatoes and cucumber is optional but not necessary, does nothing for the taste only adds volume and carbs.
Please also never try puréeing an avocado, it will turn to wall glue. Always use a fork, and if you make ahead of time store in an airtight container with the pit in the mixture to stop it from oxidizing.Reply: #27
