Guacamole

By Addie

This guacamole recipe can work as a base for you. The other day I asked a friend of mine, who grew up in Mexico, how he likes his guacamole. He said they just mash up the avocados and eat it plain or throw in whatever they have on hand. The Pioneer Woman would tell you to make her favorite Pico de Gallo, which includes jalapenos, and then throw that into some mashed up avocados. It really is as simple as that. And, it’s good.
