Simple and Delicious

This is a simple recipe that has great flavor. The only thing I did diffferently was that I used red onion and a little less... of it then what it called for. I will use this recipe again and again.Read more

Great Guacamole

My husband didn't like guacamole until this recipe! I left out the cayenne and it was still really good.

Best Guacamole
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

No Sour cream required, fits most diets. If you want it a little smokier, try using ancho chile (or another) instead of the... cayenne.Read more
