Super Guacamole
Sunday, February 7, 2010 at 03:28PM 
The Super Bowl provides a convenient excuse to make a batch of guacamole. As do many events in my household, I must confess. Here's my recipe:
-- 4 ripe Haas avocados (see image)
-- one lime
-- garlic salt
-- freshly-ground pepper
-- salsa verde
-- sour cream
Cut the avocados in half, remove the seeds (saving one), and scoop out the edible part into a suitable bowl. Use a potato masher to roughly mash the avocado flesh. Sprinkle with the juice of one lime and with garlic salt and pepper, to taste. Add 2 Tablespoons of salsa verde and 2 Tablespoons of sour cream. Mash well with the potato masher until ingredients are blended, then use a spoon to make sure the guacamole is thoroughly mixed. Plop the avocado seed in the center of the mix (this is supposed to retard oxidation) and serve with corn chips.
Salsa verde is a Mexican picante sauce made from tomatillos. I like the Herdez brand. It gives a mild picante flavor to the guacamole.

yummy, spicy guacamole is great. we grew avocados when i was young and I hated them; my mom would make us eat one thin slice when they were in season, now I love them.
