Top Secret Guacamole

In college when I first met my husband-to-be, I was your typical Midwestern gal when it came to food.  I didn't eat much outside of your basic meat and potatoes. Spice?  Forget about it. Nowadays my in-laws crack up because sometimes I want things spicier than they as Texans do! And, I try to eat just about anything and everything I can get my hands on. Needless to say, I've come a long way...

So back to those college days and courting into a family of Texas heritage, I shortly learned how to make Guacamole, and over the years I believe I have finally perfected my approach.

Mind you, there are really two ways to make Guacamole in my book.  One way, the tastier way, is to put some effort into it, but there is always the easy way, which is pretty tasty in and of itself without having to have any labor intensive chopping.

Whether you approach it the quick 'n easy, or the labor-loving way, there are a few star seasonings that should always show up to the table. These key ingredients make for a stellar Guac, every time. And with this, I divulge my secret ingredients...

The real way
2 Avocados
1/2 cup of Homemade Pico de Gallo
1 Lime
1 teaspoon Onion Salt
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Dash of hot sauce, optional

The easy way
2 Avocados
1/2 cup of pre-made Salsa
1 Lime
1 teaspoon Onion Salt
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Dash of hot sauce, optional

The secret is in the Onion Salt. Feel free to invite even more Onion Salt seasoning to the mix as it compliments the Avocado very well. Go ahead, give it a go, and enjoy y'all!
