Entry# 6 - The Mexican Twist

Guacamole



Before I do my usual, and start off with a story of how or when my thoughts of these recipes came about, I would like to say hello, "Yá'át'ééh." I hope you all waited to pile all your sinful desires on to your fry bread, because without this Guacamole, you taste buds will be missing out on an adventure. Okay, let me start of by telling you how I came to know a little about Mexican food. As you all know, I am Navajo, and my children are half Mexican. Having three growing children, whom by the way love Mexican Food, forced me to do a little digging on finding ways to satisfy their cravings, and at the same time, show them a little bit about "both" their heritages. I am not just talking about your simple guacamole or salsa, I am talking about tacos, menudo, rice, beans, enchiladas, to chili verde, and when it comes to my kids, believe me, they know the difference between good and bad. One of their favorites is "mommy" guacamole. I hope you enjoy it as much as they do.

Serving size: 4 (about 2 cups)
Prep time:  15 min
Cook time: 0 min


You will need:
2 fully ripened avocados, pitted, peeled and diced
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 jalapeño chili, chopped and seeded (if you desire hot, seeds can be left in)
2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 tsps. salt
2 finely chopped Roma tomatoes, drained

1/4 cup (or desired amount) cottage cheese

1 pkg guacamole mix

 Preparation:

In a medium bowl, place avocados in the bowl, and give each avocado a one time mash, with a potato masher. After you've taken your frustration out on your avocados, place chopped onion, chopped jalapeño, chopped cilantro, salt, chopped tomatoes, cottage cheese, and guacamole mix in with the avocados; lightly stir to combine.

Can be served with anything your stomach desires... Enjoy!
