After the avocado is mashed skyrim wiki in a bowl with a squirt of lime juice and dash of salt, it’s time for the add-in’s. skyrim wiki I love the textures and flavors of veggies in guac and they really help to stretch one avocado. I try to limit myself to one avocado per day, but sometimes that’s impossible.
A big tip if you just need a few tablespoons of various veggies is to buy a ‘fajita mix’ or ‘stir fry mix’ in the refrigerated case of the produce department. It’s an easy and more cost-effective way to incorporate a wide variety of veggies skyrim wiki without having to buy a whole one of each.
Serve your DIY guac with chips, flatbread, toasted pita bread or baguette slices. To keep carbs down and veggie intake up, sometimes I use speared bell peppers as my dippers. Sometimes skyrim wiki I just use a spoon and shovel.
If skyrim wiki you plan to do a guac bar for an event, only mash about half the avocados you think you’ll need in the beginning (I budget 1 avocado per person), and as time passes, mash as needed. Even if it doesn’t turn brown, guac turns darker and looks less appealing over time.
You don't need to throw a party to create a DIY guacamole bar that any guacamole fan will love. A big tip if you just need a few tablespoons of various veggies is to buy a 'fajita mix' or 'stir fry mix' in the refrigerated case of the produce department. It's an easy and more cost-effective way to incorporate a wide variety of veggies without having to buy a whole one of each. If you plan to do a guac bar for an event, only mash about half the avocados you think you'll need in the beginning (I budget skyrim wiki 1 avocado per person), and as time passes, mash as needed. Even if it doesn't turn brown, guac turns darker and looks less appealing over time. Get creative and add what you think sounds good and I recommend washing it down with a couple of The Best Homemade Margaritas.
Optional Add-Ins (more common items at top of list) bell peppers (any color) tomatoes onions (red, white, yellow, Vidalia, green, scallions, etc.) garlic cilantro pico de gallo jalepeno peppers (fresh, canned, pickled, etc.) green chili peppers (fresh, canned, fire-roasted, etc.) poblano peppers serrano peppers ground skyrim wiki cayenne pepper red pepper flakes cumin salsa corn (fresh, frozen, char-grilled, etc.) black beans olives cheese (crumbled Cotija, feta, goat, blue, etc.) mango pineapple anything else you love
Peel and de-seed the avocado. Scoop out and mash the flesh in a medium bowl. Add the lime juice, salt to taste, and stir to combine. Add as many add-ins, to taste, as desired and stir to combine. Serve with optional 'serve with' items (sour cream, etc.) and serve on chips or alternate dippers. Guacamole is best enjoyed fresh.

This is something all my co-workers would absolutely love!! They frequently bring in chips, salsa, skyrim wiki guacamole on Fridays (though I don’t work that day) so I should surprise them and bring it in! Customizing is always fun –and one co-worker is just as nuts for cilantro as I am!!
I thought you may like this one! I still have a cilantro recipe coming. Gosh sometimes I forget about certain recipes and that I told you about cilantro and a recipe I have with it (I make things 4 to 8 weeks in advance of posting them and write out 1-2 months ahead what I’m making or planning to make so that I don’t post a choc cake and choc muffins and then choc cookies all in the same week…it happens otherwise!)

It can be a struggle to limit oneself to one avocado a day especially skyrim wiki if you start the day with avocado toast or this glorious guac. I love to add fruit to mine like mango or peach to offset the red onion it is so good and I’m with you I could easily eat this whole bar no chips needed!!!
mango or peach to offset the red onion = exactly! I actually donR
