Guacamole is personal. That may sound a bit dramatic, but rarely do two people prepare it exactly the same way. As with all foods, over time it takes on the personality of the individual who is preparing it.
A variety of ingredients can be added; tomatoes, sour cream, garlic, and I have recently spied a recipe with the addition of yellow corn and black beans. I was curious, gave it a whirl and it was freaking amazing.
Now that we have guacamole, chips and salsa, it’s time to break out the Casa Noble blanco Tequila and let the festivities begin!
