Chips, Salsa, and Guacamole -- Big Game Food!
There is just something about Mexican food. Ask me if I'm in the mood for Mexican, my answer will always be "Yes!" Love, love, love it. And where would Mexican food be without the avocado?
Did you know that avocados are considered a nutrient dense food? They provide nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and plant compounds in each serving. Although they have more fat than other kinds of produce, they have healthy fats--mono and polyunsaturated fats, not saturated fats. In other words, you get a lot of nutritional bang for your buck with an avocado!
I did not grow up in California, and my introduction to avocados was not pleasant. When we first got married my husband--a California native--told me that it was not a salad unless there was an avocado in it. Now I am a complete convert! Avocados are in my shopping cart every week, without fail.
So in honor of the launch of the new Lassen's Tortilla Chips (Organic, in white or blue, only $1.99!) here is the best way (in my humble opinion!) to make guacamole. And just for fun I'll include my Pico de Gallo recipe, since I'm in such a generous mood!
