To go with my South of the Border feast I also made Guacamole. Anytime I’m having Mexican food, I almost always have guacamole to go with those salty chips. Keep it simple when you make this dish. Nice ripe avocados, lime, cilantro and a few spices – that’s it.
As much as they charge for guacamole at restaurants you would think the ingredients are really expensive or that it is difficult to make. Nope. It only takes as long as it takes you to chop the ingredients and mix.
The next time you make a Mexican meal at home, don’t forget to make some guacamole!
