    I love the addition of sweet basil to the gucamole. Good idea, i also think that Luis Bruno should have his own show.

    This was so easy to make and I really liked using the crushed red pepper flakes in place of jalapenos! I had all of the ingredients in my fridge already, which makes cooking so much more enjoyable! I totally agree that Luis Bruno should have his own show! How cute is he? Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

    Wonderful and flavorful guacamole. I agree, Luis should have his own show. He was a joy to watch.
