Guacamole Recipe

I’ve never met a guacamole I didn’t like, and this Guacamole Recipe is certainly no exception. Picture this: Fifteen years ago, I’m sitting in a chair at the salon, getting my hair all prettied up, flipping through magazines, when I come across a guacamole recipe.

At first glance the guacamole recipe didn’t seem like anything special, but as I sat there getting all gussied up, I could not stop thinking about that guacamole recipe. I could almost taste it. Something about simple fresh ingredients all piled on a crunchy corn tortilla chip made my appetite soar as I sat there trapped in beautidom.

I made a little detour on the way home to stock up on all the ingredients. As soon as I walked in the door of my home, I sliced open the ripe avocado, diced the tomatoes and onions, and began assembling the guacamole. A few minutes later, Randy and I devoured the best batch of homemade guacamole, ever! We’ve continued to enjoy fresh homemade guacamole ever since that day. Nothing beats fresh guacamole.
