Guac on steroids!!!
Avocados + me = true love.
They somehow actually make every single dish better. They’re a staple in our house, always kicking around. I buy the bags of five large ones from Costco. And then we put them on everything – salads, burgers, soups, sandwiches… do you put them in smoothies? My friend Laura does but I’ve never tried it. I can imagine they get all creamy and delicious so I should get on that.
Before My Other Half and I bought our house, I was the nacho queen. I actually ate nachos every single day. How I was not 300 lbs, I will never know. I think Roomie thought I was nuts. So unhealthy. But when I was feelin’ fancy, I’d also whip up a batch of guacamole too. Having worked in a Mexican restaurant for four years, I had it down pat.
There’s nothing better than my authentic guacamole, made without shortcuts… but sometimes I just don’t have the time or patience and that’s when I make cheater guacamole. Which means mashing an avocado and adding a couple spoonfuls of salsa and calling is guac. My Other Half hates it but it satisfies my cravings just fine.
Rarely have I experimented with out-of-the-box guacs like this one, with the exception of Nigella’s Roquamole which is basically just blue cheese and avocado. It’s unreal. I’ll blog about my version sometime. I promise.
I am just so in love with all things sriracha lately. And anything remotely Mexican, but that’s nothing new.
TRY THIS. Your friends will like you more! Than they already do.
