Mexican Dinner Teaser

I have future plans of cooking a Mexican dinner with my friend Gina who made me aware of the Better Homes and Garden Special Edition Publication entitled Ultimate Mexican. Besides beautiful pictures, it also appears to contain authentic recipes. A future goal will be to practice the art of tamale making, but in the mean time, here is a recipe for some darn good guacamole.


Chunky Guacamole
1 seeded and chopped jalepeno pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup chopped roma tomato
1/4 cup sliced green onion
2 Tablespoons lime juice
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 to 2 garlic cloves minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 very ripe avocados, halved, seeded, peeled, and cubed


In a bowl combine tomato, onion, lime juice, oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Gently stir in avocados. Serve immediately or cover the surface with plastic wrap and chill for up to 1 hour.
