Game Day Guacamole Recipe

The biggest annual sporting event in the USA is just three days away,  Super Bowl, and that means party food!

Here in Texas, we like our food with south-of-the-border flair. I’ve eaten my share of Tex-Mex and made many a bowl of guacamole. But don’t take my word for it. Read up on the history and popularity of avocados and how they originally were all mashed up into an avocado sauce. 

The nice thing about my guacamole recipe is that it’s simple and quick – and you can adjust the seasoning and add any ingredients to suit your own tastes.

If you are serving an adults-only crowd, try mixing in a bit of tequila for a different kind of spice.

Since this is a party recipe, I probably wouldn’t make it super spicy but again, the variations are endless. However, I do tend to stick to a classic recipe.

I’m not a spicy girl so to give it some kick I add a bit of cilantro and garlic.

If you’re not sure, just add a little, taste, and add more as needed, tasting frequently!

If you prefer spicy foods you can add jalapenos or red pepper.

For color and more flavor,  I also add chopped tomatoes.

Guacamole is so simple and easy – and it’s good for you! Eat as much as you want.

Serve it with crispy corn chips and a nice cold margarita on the rocks.

Game Day Guacamole Recipe

serves 4

Ingredients:

2 medium ripe avocados, halved and scooped from the shell.

1 small clove of garlic, minced

1 lime

 small bunch of cilantro, finely chopped

salt, and pepper to taste.

Put all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl or serving bowl, and blend together. If you like your guacamole smoother, you can mix it in the blender. For chunkier style guacamole, I use a knife to chop the avocado and blend the ingredients together. Or use a fork to mash the avocado and mix all the ingredients together.
