This is my recipe too! I don't like tomatoes in mine either. I put way more onions and cilantro in mine though, I like it kicky!

Try some cream cheese...won't ADD much flavor, but it will give your ingredients something to "hold" on to and your flavors will blend together better.

OK, I just talked to my DS and nuera who live on the Border, but she's from Mexico. It sounds to them as if you put too much stuff in it. How much tomato is in it? You shouldn't have more than a touch of tomato, if at all.

Okay Texan here

Avacados
Salt - you need a good amt
Pepper
Garlic
Tomatoes (not a lot)
Onion
lime juice

That is really about it. I BEG you not to add sour cream or cream cheese or anything like that. I would add cilantro but my DH doesn't like it.

I find when mine is 'wrong' that it generally needs more salt or garlic.

My friend (of Mexican decent) makes his this way.
Avacado
roasted tomato
cliantro
red onions
lime juice ( 1/2 lime for each avacado)
salt
fresh orange juice (about 1/2 and orange for 4 avacados)

I always add cumin, makes a big difference.

We do avacado, slighty smooshed yet lumpy- like home made mashed potatoes, garlic- usually crushed, grated onion, salt, pepper and cumin. delish!
