My Ever So Easy Guacamole

July 7, 2019 by Becky Spoon

When I need a fast easy Guacamole that is delicious, this is always my go-to. It literally has avocado, lemon juice, granulated garlic, salt and pepper.

Most times, when I’ve planned ahead, I’ll make the guacamole in a Mexican Molcajete, their version of a mortar and pestle. Here’s a link explaining the Molcajete if you are not familiar: https://www.directfrommexico.com/ccm570.html. Mine is a very heavy volcanic lava stone which is typical. I’ve seen lighter versions, but the lava stone helps grind everything together, pretty much pulverizing the ingredients, like the jalapeños and garlic.

When I make it with the Molcajete I add onions, jalapeños, tomatoes, garlic, and lots of cilantro. It’s a great recipe!

Pico de Gallo with Avocado

December 1, 2018 by Becky Spoon


 

I love Pico de Gallo!  It is fresh, salty, has a kick from the jalapeno, the lime juice just brings it all together...it is the perfect addition to your tacos, grilled meats, grilled fish, grilled shrimp, on and on!! 
Pico de Galla is special to me, especially with avocado because I have friends that live in Cabo and when i visit them we cook! We cook foods of Mexico! 
I never put avocado in my pico until I was with them.  We were grilling Al Pastor or Carne Asada they made pico and added a lot of avocado.  It was amazing....you know, there was no need for additional guacamole. 
The perfect condiment!

Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cuisine Mexican

Ingredients
  

  • Tomatoes
  • Purple Onions
  • Jalapeno
  • Avocados
  • Cilantro
  • Salt
  • Lime juice

Instructions
 

  • I didn't add amounts because you can use this recipe to make any amount. Dice the tomato, onions, jalapeno, cilantro and toss. Dice the avocado and add to the mixture. Add the lime juice and a little salt. Start with one lime and a little salt, then adjust as needed or to your taste.   
    This won't keep a long time because all the ingredients are fresh but it won't last anyway...it is addictive!!
