Since I’m still slammed with work this week (penguins are cute but they all start to look alike after awhile and I still have a long way to go) and I bet you are too, I thought I would post the absolute easiest recipe in my repertoire. This is the dish I always bring to parties.
Easy Guacamole
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/4 cup sour cream (light or fat free work fine)
- 1/2 package of taco seasoning (I use Old El Paso 40% less sodium)
- 1/4 cup finely diced tomatoes (can also use equal amount of salsa from a jar)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion or scallions (skip if using salsa)
- dash of lemon juice
- dash of hot sauce
Mash avocados very smooth. Add all other ingredients and mix well. Cover with saran wrap so it is touching the top of the guacamole (so it will not brown before serving.) Chill until ready to use. Stir again just before serving.
Now I’m craving some guac and chips! I hope you like it as much as I do!

I can’t handle guacamole. Tastes to me like I imagine grass (as in the stuff in the garden) would taste.
I’m following you on twitter!

Ooooo, yummy! As a Cali native, I have had a LOT of guacamole, and I have never seen a recipe using taco seasoning, so I CANNOT WAIT to try this (but will have to, as our local market has terrible avocados so must wait for weekend farmer’s market). I have pretty much the same recipe, only with garlic powder instead of the seasoning. Come to think of it, fresh garlic (through the garlic press) might be fantastic, so I’ll have to try that next time too. You’ve made me very hungry. (And that’s amazing because I’m actually feeling nauseous for some reason right now. But perhaps I’m just dizzy from all of my blog reading today.)

[...] Last night I made these nachos - they were just perfect. The base was refried beans and melted jack cheese, the warmness of which was offset by lettuce and black olives. On the side is some salsa, sour cream and guacamole I made from the excellent recipe posted by Catnip and Coffee. [...]
