    Guacamole Again

    Guacamole Again I make guacamole a lot – about once a week, so here we are, making Bueno Burritos and, of course, making Holy Guacamole again!! It’s so easy and good – avocados are rich in healthy fats and high in fibre and potassium. Good for you! Why is my guacamole always in a purple bowl?

Ingredients Chicken Vegetables (onions & peppers) Corn Salsa Burrito Sauce Cheese Sour Cream Beans Guacamole Green Onions Tortillas First – get the chicken going.

Where does all the time go? In need of a quick fix, I remembered that we had this ugly folding table in the basement – the pervious owner had left it (and after looking at it, you can…
