It doesn’t get any better or any more simple than this: avocado, lemon, salt, and tomato. Growing up in New Mexico, making guacamole was a family ritual that ended with one of us scraping out the bowl with the spatula. When I left New Mexico, Guacamole was the one thing I could easily make that would quickly fix any craving for New Mexican food. Read the rest of this entry »
