Guacamole

Texas is all about Tex-Mex, and guacamole is one of the usual suspects. Every Tex-Mex joint in Texas claims to have the best guacamole in the world using their ‘world famous’ super secret guacamole recipe. This may be an oversimplification, but guacamole is basically fresh chunky tomato salsa mixed with mashed avocado. There, I said it. (Carefully waiting for bolt of Tex-Mex lightning to strike me down)

I will, however, resist the urge to write my recipe as follows: 1. Peel, pit, and mash avocados. 2. Add salsa. 3. Eat.

This is my go-to guacamole recipe. It may appear as though it's just my salsa recipe with avocados but in reality, it's avocados mixed with my salsa recipe. No, these aren't the droids you're looking for.
