The Perfect Guac

Here’s a quick little ditty to get your weekend started.

The Prep:

Double, triple or quadruple as needed.

• open a bottle of tequila
• drink the tequila
• pit and scoop out 2 ripe avocados
• seed and dice fine 1 jalapeño
• juice 1 lime
• 1/3 cup chopped red onion
• lots of chopped cilantro
• S&P

Now with a big utensil smash together the avocados and everything that follows.  Then pop in a little Joe Nichols.  That’s it.  Nice.

The Takeaway:

Quick appie.  Or a fixin’ for taco night.  Mmmm.  Taco night.  In this guac, I garnished with a few pickled fresno chilis for some color.  Some people use pomegranate seeds, also nice.   And btw, this is a good dish in which to employ the tot.  I do the chopping, she does the smashing.  One more thing- wash that cilantro good.  Nobody likes gritty guac.
