    Guacamole - Andrea Meyers

    I first fell in love with guacamole when I lived in Bogotá, Colombia. There was a restaurant just down the street from my apartment called Aqui en Santa Fe, a small place with a cute red door. Their specialty was arepas, and I would order the aguacate arepa with queso mounded on top. It was heaven! I’ve been hooked on guacamole ever since, and I based my recipe on the guacamoles that I enjoyed in Colombia (which are not spicy like their Tex Mex cousins). This one is chunky, with a good lime flavor.

    Dip your chips in it, dollop it on tacos, or smear it on toast. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, this healthy guacamole will add loads of flavor to any meal.

      Sounds good. Now add a couple chopped serrano peppers, some chopped red onion, a little garlic, some ground pepper. Chill in fridge for a bit. Wow! thats my favorite.
