Classics are called 'classics' for a reason. These treasured dishes are always in season, always beloved, and always anticipated. Guacamole from the Mexican, Latino culture is just one of those culinary classics that many of us simply cannot live without, especially when there's a crowd to feed. My guacamole is ever-present at a party, and always, always when watching The Super Bowl.
.
Oh yes, for the big game, I also had some of our hot, hot, HOT spicy chili, a great platter of wings, the regular batch of chips and dip, my husband's and my homemade salsa for tortilla dipping, and the main course this year was our version of the classic winter Italian comfort and street food ~ ~ Italian Sausage and Peppers!
.
For just four people at this mini-party, we were stuffed with pleasure to say the least . . . especially with a few shrinking tummies that have been taking in less food in the last month and a half. You know what? That just means that there will be more fantastic left-overs to take to the office this week! And that's a good thing!

Set out all of your ingredients at one time and set in your work area, so that your preparation time is more efficient. Just the colors of these avocados and limes make your mouth water! Gosh, fresh produce is just so beautiful!!

For a complete step-by-step pictorial procedure of preparing this guacamole, please click here for my original post on February 3, 2010, when I first posted this delightful guacamole recipe. I am so happy to share this with you and I hope that you enjoy it!
So bring on the tortillas, a side bowl of salsa, sour cream, and melted Mexican cheese! Let the game and the fun begin! Ciao!

I LOVE guacamole, Roz. Yours looks delectable! Susan
ReplyDeleteone of my favorites! look amazing here!
ReplyDeleteGuacamole has got to be up there with one of my favorite sides. It's great by itself, on tacos, on burgers, and a bunch of other things. I like to leave it a bit chunky and spicy. This is pretty close to the recipe I use to make mine, although your presentation is better.
ReplyDeletewow what colors....
