Today’s post is obviously a recipe, and I have been working on it for quite some time now! For those of you who really do not care to hear about the story behind this recipe, I am conveniently sticking it at the top of the page for you guys! You are very welcome lol

Ingredients:

  • 3 Avocados
  • 1/4 c. chopped onion
  • 1/4 c. jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
  • Heaping Tbs. Cilantro, finely Chopped
  • 1 Roma tomato
  • 1 Lime, juiced
  • 2 Cloves of garlic
  • 1 tbs. of Frank’s Hot Sauce
  • 2 tsp. of Paprika
  • Salt to taste

Directions:

  1. Start off by peeling and seeding your avocados. Go ahead and put them in a medium sized bowl.
  2. Mash the avocados together. If you like chunkier Guac. do not mash as heavily.
  3. Chop up your onions, peppers, Cilantro, tomato, and garlic. Add them to the bowl.
  4. Mix in your lime, hot sauce, salt, and garnish with paprika!

So anyway, I actually came across this recipe by happenstance. I was working at a restaurant that sold Guacamole dip and I used to absolutely love it when they would make it themselves! As a matter of fact, that’s where I first tried Guacamole.

One day, I had two men at a table I was waiting and they asked how good our Guacamole dip was. I like to be as honest as I can be so I told them that ever since we switched our recipe, I didn’t like our Guacamole as much. It tasted really limey- like. lol Which to me, was almost sour-tasting!

One man went on to tell me that he was a retired army chef and guess what….. yes girl. He had the perfect Guacamole recipe. At this point in my life I was moving into a new house so some friends were throwing me a housewarming party. And I NEEDED a good recipe. I ad tried one out that I found on Pinterest but it just was not what I was looking for.

So this kind man asks to borrow some pen and paper and he just writes down his recipe off the top of his head. He was so so nice and I couldn’t even tell you if he tipped because I was so happy with that recipe. I realized that fresh cloves of garlic make a huge difference compared to garlic powder. lol So i tried the recipe, and it turned out great!

Now, I have altered the recipe a bit just for fun and to keep my taste buds on their toes, but every time I make this Guacamole dip I get asked for the recipe!

So here you go! I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I surely have!

Sincerely,

Vanna
