Easy & Delicious Guacamole – Yum!

January 23, 2014

I don’t know what is with me, but I often crave good fresh guacamole.  We have tons of Tex Mex restaurants here in Texas that offer fresh table side guacamole.  It’s good, but one of my favorites is actually from Chipotle.  I decided to try to make some fresh guacamole at home.  I went on YouTube and watched a few videos so that I’d know what ingredients to buy at the grocery store.  It was so easy to make that I actually made it again the next night.  However I changed up my recipe by adding and deleting ingredients.

The beauty of guacamole is that there’s no right or wrong way to make it.  You can add or delete ingredients that your taste buds prefer.  Below is a basic recipe that I saw on Youtube.  I don’t like things very spicy so I eliminated all hot peppers.  Basically, you just mash the avocado then mix in all other ingredients.

recipe from YouTube

Mash avocado in a bowl

Add other ingredients to the bowl

Squeeze in lime juice to preserve the color and freshness

First batch of guacamole

Second night’s batch of guacamole
My homemade guacamole was SO good!  I preferred it better the second time I made it with the addition of corn and black beans and the omission of the red onions.  You can make it with whatever add ins you prefer.  I had this for dinner 3 nights last week when my family was traveling and I could get away with calling this dinner.  LOL!  I’m sure this will be occurring more often now that I know how quick and simple it is to make at home.

    I could probably eat guacamole every day. I’ve never put corn in mine, but my daughter (2 years old) is obsessed with corn and it might be a good way to get her to eat it! Happy SITS day

Itโ€™s a fabulous strapless lightweight jumpsuit! Just change out your accessories and shoes, maybe add a topper and youโ€™ll be ready for anything.๐Ÿ’ซ

This jumpsuit is a cropped length on most, but at a petite 5โ€™1โ€ it is longer on me. Itโ€™s great because it accommodates a variety of body types, but I may get it hemmed. Still deciding.๐Ÿค”
