Welcome to Day #6 of Appetizer Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Kristen from Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker. Whether you are a Broncos fan or a Seahawks fan, we wanted to make sure you had plenty of ideas for your game day spread. Each day we will be dishing up a different set of appetizers. We hope you enjoy this fabulous group of recipes. Tune in each day starting with Monday, January 20 and ending on Saturday, January 25. Today is our final day of #AppetizerWeek. We hope you have enjoyed it as much as we have! Should we make it an annual event? I think so!
For Day #6 of Appetizer week I am sharing my Game Day Guacamole recipe. Growing up in Texas I learned to love Tex-Mex food, including Guacamole. Unfortunately, Mr. Flavor Mosaic, while he loves Mexican food, is not fond of avocados or guacamole. That’s ok. It just means there is more for me! So I enjoy having the opportunity to make guacamole to take to a party or get-together. There are many variations. This is my favorite. Guacamole must be served fresh. It is super easy to make and is always popular at any party.
- 3 avocados - peeled pitted, and mashed
- 1 lime juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 red onion diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 roma plum tomatoes, diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 jalapeño seeded and diced
- In a medium bowl, mix together the mashed avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in the red onion, fresh cilantro, tomatoes, garlic and jalapeño. Serve immediately.

Hi Debi! Thanks for visiting. Your team had an incredible year. Too bad you have to wait awhile until next season. However, that does not mean you have to wait to try this recipe. It is great any time.
