Mexican Night

May 9, 2009: Chris and I went out on Cinco de Mayo (Tuesday night), so we stayed in that Friday, and I made guacamole, pico de gallo, and margaritas. It was all good.

 

June 26, 2009: We're having another Mexican night tonight - yum!

Guacamole Recipe:

 

2-3 avocados, peeled and pitted

1/2 white onion, chopped

1 jalapeno pepper, chopped

Juice from 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, salt, pepper (to taste)

(Chips!)

 

In a large mixing bowl, mash the onion and pepper with a potato masher. Add lime juice and avocado and mash up as much as you want. Mix in cilantro, salt, and pepper to taste. And that's it!

Salsa Recipe:

 

4-5 medium-sized tomatoes (I prefer using various types of tomatoes)

1 jalapeno, chopped

1/2 white onion, chopped

Juice from 1 lime

A little extra virgin olive oil (~ 1 tablespoon)

Fresh cilantro, salt, pepper (to taste)

(Chips!)

 

Chop up the tomatoes - remove the juicy bits if you want less liquidy salsa - and put in a medium-large bowl. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, adding cilantro, salt and pepper to taste and serve.

I saw the idea for these recipes in some magazine, don't remember which now (ETA: Real Simple). They are simple and tasty.
