Cinco De Mayo

Happy Cinco De Mayo!! Do you love Mexican Food?!?! It is one of my favorites I could eat it 3-4 times a week and never grow old of it! For real, or maybe I would you never know. But I just love it!! Lets talk Guacamole, I am not a big avocado fan, I don;t like them plain or in salads or on sandwiches. I never even used to like guacamole! But then I tried my sister-in-laws and then I just became hooked and I LOVE the stuff!!! I still don't like avocados by themselves but guacamole, I LOVE!! Here is a recipe I have put together from time and practice...it will make a none guacamole lover a guacamole lover;)!! 

You will need 2-3 ripe avocados, 1/2 medium onion, 1 garlic clove, 2 Roma tomatoes, cilantro, lime, salt, cumin, cayenne pepper, and sour cream.

I LOVE Costco, like love love it. IT is amazing and to make my love for them grow even more the one closest to me just started carrying organic strawberries!!! Which is great even though thank goodness strawberry season is right around the corner and my garden will be full of them, in the mean time we buy these things like crazy and Organic is the only kind I buy. So when I saw them at Costco I was so excited the same price for twice as many!!! But my other love for Costco is this amazing Mortar bowl I picked up last year for like $14.99!!! They still have it by the way, you can't even get one half this size for under $30! I love it!! I use it ALL the time! It was a great buy and steal, thank you Costco!! So muddle up you onion, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Just a little bit to get them fragrant you do not want to totally mash you garlic and onion you still want the crunch of the onion in the guacamole.

Add your Avocados and the Juice of 1 lime and mash the avocados up to your liking. I don't like mine chunky so I mach them up pretty good.

Next add your diced up and seeded Roma tomatoes, 1 tablespoon cilantro, 3/4 teaspoon cumin, 3/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper and mix together.

Then the ingredient that really brings it all together a heaping spoonful of sour cream!! It is so delicious, I actually added an extra extra heaping full this time but it was still just as tasty and creamy:)!

Get a big ole corn chip and enjoy!!
