Best Ever Guacamole

by

Mexican cuisine is definitely one of my favorites. Hussein often asks, “if you could have Mexican food everyday would you?”. The answer is undoubtedly, yes! 😀

Guacamole Recipe

Many traditional Mexican dishes have pork or lard, so I learned to make these dishes myself. Guacamole often accompanies these traditional dishes and is a favorite in our home.

Guacamole originated in Mexico with the Aztecs. It has made its way into Tex-Mex and American cuisine and can be viewed as a staple. There are many ways to make guacamole. It can be served over empanadas, or used as a dip, severed on the top of a salad, or a sandwich condiment.

 

Some of you may not like tomatoes in your guacamole, so feel free to omit them! This is my best ever guacamole because it is the way I like it 😉

 

Here is my recipe:
