gringal Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 I'm hosting a luncheon for 12 and want to buy ready to eat guacamole. Haven't seen it in the various super and semi-supermarkets. Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also make good cole slaw and pico de gallo. We buy it regularly. Even when not getting the chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Loco Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Tony’s restaurant has great Quac to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Solar Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Beer Garden in Chapala - yes, really - makes it fresh from the avocado right at your table, on the "guac cart", with wide selection of top quality fresh ingredients - tomato, onion, all the spice options. Could likely get a batch to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 I like the commercially prepared guacamole that Pancho carries in the refrigerated section. Worth trying and checking out. After Super Bowl, he was cleaned out so I would call in advance and order. I think it's called Corazon de Maria. Easy to open and serve. The plus is that what you don't open will keep.

If so, that would be a great solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetteforron Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Sam's Club or Costco sell it in the frozen section. Can't remember which store sells it. It does in my opinion needs doctoring up. I add chilies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also grow those Serranos chilies in my garden, add till you reach the heat you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even includes the list of ingredients. BTW, the one at Pancho's has the same ingredients and is the equivalent of four avocados in each package. Also has the same ingredients and no preservatives added. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some info/caution about #1 on Sam's web site, the salsa. It is very spicy. There is no heat indicator (that I see) on the bottle. IMO it is a good tasting salsa.

With a meal, we just add slices of avocado. For potato chip, it is drops of hot sauce. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Wait... did Gringal simply ask where to get some pre-made? Let me offer a recipe for homemade pizza instead. I have purchased it recently at WalMart, in the "fresh" vegetable section. It is not cheap and certainly won't be for a bunch of people. It is also rather bland. The jar that Tiny shows above, as I recall, was rather watery. I'm going to guess that any restaurant you've had guacamole at, will make a batch for you. I do this frequently for pico de gallo, for example. A half or full litre, for a handful of pesos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 4 hours ago, oregontochapala said: Of all the Mexican foods to buy instead of making it yourself, Guacamole should be at the bottom of one's list. I make mine by chopping jitomate, either a jalapeno or serrano pepper (remove the seeds with a spoon) and if you like, some finely diced white onion, then roughly mash in the avocado. Squeeze a little lime juice over it all and if you like, a little salt and that's it. Save the pits from the avocadoes and place in the guacamole until ready to serve. It couldn't be much easier. It is very easy to make. What is NOT easy is getting all the avocados to be perfectly ripe and free of spots on the inside. I found that I had to buy four avocados to get the equivalent of two. And that, imho, is neither economically feasible nor good time management. YMMV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kam Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 As has been discussed and discussed before, if someone asks for a source for a product, it is not entirely (or even a teeny bit) helpful to point out that any fool could make it themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
