Assemble burrito on flour tortilla with rice, veggies, and top with guacamole and grated cheese.

Easy Guacamole

So I haven't posted in like, what? 6 months? It's alright. I lost my blogging mojo, but I imagine I'll come back from time to time at the very least to post a recipe.

I love guacamole as a topper to all things, and B who "didn't like avacados" when I met him is now obsessed with guacamole. I know, right? What kind of Mexican is he?

Anyway, this is easy, fast, and healthy. I like my guac chunky, so no purree-ing, just mixing.

Ingredients
2 ripe Haas avacadoes, chopped
1 tomatoe, chopped
1/4th red onion, diced fine
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
juice from one lime
salt to taste

Instructions
Mix and eat, silly

How to eat?
Chips, atop chicken or steak, in quesadillas or burritos
