So it's game day and that means we are making snacks for a crowd. First up is Guacamole, which is actually really easy (I am not nearly the cook my sister is and I can still throw this recipe together in about 5-10 minutes). This is a good recipe to play around with, for instance, I love cilantro so I always put a little bit more of that in my recipes. If you want it a little bit spicier, add some more peppers (habanero is a good pepper to use in guacamole too) or a hot salsa. I am a huge fan of Chipotle Guacamole and this recipe is closer to that than any pre-made guacamole I have ever gotten from a grocery store.
In a food processor add the following ingredients:
- 2 Hass Avocados (obviously just the meat, remove the peel and pit)
- 1 Jalapeno Pepper (take the seeds out)
- The juice from 1 lime
- Half of 1 large cilantro bunch (chop it up yourself or make sure the processor chops it up small)
- 1 scoop of Jack's Special Medium Salsa (which is my favorite salsa, feel free to use your own favorite or you could make your own pico de gallo).
Blend it all together and then add salt to taste (I added between 1-2 teaspoons). It is better to add a little bit at a time, you can always add more.
Every time I make this it comes out a little different: this one was pretty cilantro heavy (I added 3/4 of a bunch), but it was good. Today we just used it as a dip, but it is also great in burritos or any other Mexican dishes. Enjoy!
