Guacamole

I'm telling you - it's SO YUMMY!

3-5 avocados (I do 5!)
Pico de Gallo
Kosher Salt
1/2 lime

Peel, seed, and mash. I like to mash them with the bottom of a cup of glass. Add 1-2 heaping scoops of Pico de Gallo - until it is nice and chunky. Sprinkle with salt and add the juice of the 1/2 a lime.

Delicious!

Pico de Gallo

This is so good that I made it twice in 3 days! I made it for a "Girls Night Out" get together and left some at home for my husband. We both loved it and I ended up making another batch for to go with Sunday dinner! You HAVE to make the guacamole with it - it's heaven on earth!

5 plum roma tomatoes (firm, not soft)
1 small or 1/2 large onion (I like yellow)
3 jalapeno peppers
1/2 lime
1 bunch of cilantro
kosher salt

I didn't have Roma tomatoes when I made it - but I did use some "on the vine" yummy tomatoes I had - they were bigger than Romas. This is a recipe you kind of have to play with.

Small dice the tomatoes and onion. Mix together. Dice the jalapenos very small - if you want a little more heat, leave in the seeds. I like to leave in the seeds of 1, and not the other 2. Add to tomato/onion mixture.

Rough chop the cilantro - don't worry too much about the long stems, but try to avoid adding so much of it. I just take the bunch and start chopping from the top and stop when I get to too many stems. Add to Pico mixture.

Squeeze juice of 1/2 a lime. Sprinkle with salt. I like to use a chip to see how my seasoning is, because then you don't oversalt it.

Enjoy!

Brandi's Taco Salad - aka "floor cleaner salad"

I thought you might want this one, if you don't have it. Just remember to make sure none of your guests drink any floor cleaner prior to eating this! Because then it doesn't taste so good.

DRESSING:
1 bunch of cilantro
3/4 c. salsa
1 c. mayonnaise
1 1/2 tsp. garlic
juice of 1/2 a lime
salt & pepper to taste

Put all the ingredients in a blender or food processor in the order listed.

Serve on a fried flour tortilla with refried beans, cheese, lettuce (I like romaine and spring mix combined), tomatoes, black olives, grilled chicken and sour cream.

My favorite!
