Guacamole

Happy Hour! Time to sit back, and relax with a cold Dos Equis and some yummy guacamole. When I first went to Mexico City Restaurant, we ordered the guac. If you’ve never been there, they come to your table-side and prepare it with all fresh ingredients. After seeing how easy, and enjoying its fresh, great taste, I’ve been making my own ever since.

Tomatoes are a big hit, but for this recipe I used a handful of cilantro leaves, one avocado, one green onion and one garlic clove. Add in a spoon full of jalapeno peppers, or green chilies. I use Nellie & Joe’s Key West Lime Juice. I absolutely love it. Also, great in alcohol beverages. Add a few squirts, as needed. You only need a little. – Lime juice goes a long way.

I looked at Amazon, but I never did buy it, and I’m glad I didn’t. – I hear it’s very hard to clean. My Cuisinart Smart Stick, works perfectly. I love it. It’s fast and easy. I toss in all the ingredients adding a few squirts of lime juice with a dash of salt and pepper, and blend.

Secret ingredient: A Dos Equis, or a Corona with a slice of lime, always goes great with Guac.
