Whipped up a batch of this (extra tomato and with black olives) to enjoy with some Late July brand white corn tortilla chips during the SDSU vs Sam Houston State 2021 NCAA Divison 1 championship game today!

Leave out the cilantro, put in green chilies and more garlic!

No cilantro as it tastes like soap to me. Just neglected to mention that.

Now you have gone and done it .
Ps. It tastes like soap to me too!

Batch was made with 4 Haas avocados. Other ingredients scaled to match. Haven't had home made guac in a long long time. Damn, this stuff is good. Wasn't going to last the whole game. And now with a lightning delay, no question! Lol.

I’m down with the chiles, but cilantro is a requirement for me. I’m so glad it doesn’t taste like soap to me. Serrano or habanero are also good.

I realize people in your parts may not be the best spelling participants however, that is NOT how you spell "Aztecs."

I used to think that people who hate cilantro were just people with bad taste (no pun) or mentally challenged but it is actually a medical condition . Who knew?

Entertaining game and congrats to Sam Houston. That said I do believe the outcome would have been different if the SDSU starting QB hadn't been injured in the very first series of downs.

Only saw the score after the game, was building a fence all day.
This SHSU alum is happy with the outcome.

Avacados are $2.25 each in Central Texas. Ouch! I used to make guac but now I just use corn chips as a scoop. The smaller avacados are cheaper.

iirc, the gentle folks who find cilantro to taste like soap are known as "super tasters."

Interestingly, it seems by searching the interwebz on the reason why some don't like cilantro, there has been a shift in reasoning in the past decade or so. When I researched this long ago, the prevailing thought then was the "supertaster" theory. Some of the reading about supertasters was that people who disliked cilantro were supertasters, and some was that people who liked it were supertasters.

Now the common articles are that it is a genetic thing with higher probability in Europeans, and the scent may trigger a reaction like unsafe food might.

My daughter is happy too. Shes in school there now and on the cheer squad and was at the game.

I've been making Chef John's guac recipe for awhile. While really good, it's kind of a pain.

I'll have to give this recipe a try, sans the cumin. Cumin is good in a lot of things but I can't see it in guac.

BTW, I did discover a good way to keep the leftovers from going black. Vacuum sealing. I tried several methods (a layer of water on top and plastic wrap on top) that were either a mess or a pain in the butt and ultimately didn't work well. Then I tried the vacuum sealer and it works great.

I store leftover quac in a glass. First put lemon juice in the glass, then the guac. lemon juice on top and saran on the surface of the guac sealed as well as possible and draped over the glass.

OMG! We paid $0.88 each for medium (actually at the upper range of that size classification) HAAS avocados.
