Guacamole

Guacamole

This is my version of guacamole, a popular Central American uncooked fresh relish or dipping sauce that is now enjoyed in many regions of the world. It turned out to be a perfect accompaniment to mushroom quesadilla, served with Mexican black bean pasties. The remains were enjoyed with some blue corn tortilla chips. The final result is worth the attention devoted to the chopping board beforehand, even considering it was eagerly devoured in a fraction of the time.

I also add 1/4 cup of chopped raw red peppers. Sweet and crunchy. Guacamole is one of the tastiest sandwich spreads.

Sounds perfect. You have lime, cilantro, cumin, and chile powder, the four things I personally think are essential for a good guacamole recipe!

I am a guac fanatic. I'm afraid I think this one has just too much stuff in it! In my world, a little bit of white onion, lime juice, cilantro, s&p, and garlic is perfect... Simple, but the best avocados don't need to be covered up
