I am a huge fan of avocados. I love them sliced on sandwiches or cut up in a salad. To me, they just make anything better. But my absolute favorite way to eat them is in guacamole. You give me some baked tortilla chips and a bowl of guacamole, and I could make myself sick! I tried this recipe a year ago. It was actually taken out of a family cookbook. I tweaked it just a little and have been addicted ever since.
Guacamole
2 avocados
2 tbsp. picante sauce
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
a little less than 1/4 tsp. salt
Dash of chili powder
Mash avocados with fork and blend in other ingredients.
People that I have served this to really like it. In fact, my daughters even like -- They call it "broccamole". (I think because it is green, they associate it with broccoli!)
I love it too! Have you ever put in some other green ingredients to "extend" your recipe? I read about it once, adding in a cup of pureed french style green beans. Didn't bother me a bit! French style green beans are so bland, but they're the right color and it still tasted really good. But Dan freaked when I told him and never let me live it down!
