Perhaps you are in a hurry and do not know what hors d’oeuvre you will give to your guests in your next party. How about this appetizer? Guacamole, an authentic Mexican dish, tasty and easy to make.
In México we celebrate our Independence Day on September 16, and in many homes this means having lunch or dinner with family and friends. It is usually the traditional pozole, sometimes tacos or chicken with mole, Carne Asada, frijoles Charros, Quesadillas, gorditas, etc…, it is an endless parade of dishes coming from the kitchen, it is a good time to enjoy and share our traditions.

If you’re not planning something complicated, and prefer a casual and simple dish, this is a good option.
I know, I know, how complicated can it be a guacamole or a salsa? Well, these chips are very original and are the twist of this rich snack, these delicious tortillas seasoned and baked make a big difference.
In the town where I grew up, we call this well-known Mexican Salsa: “pico de gallo”, as I said, every city has its own traditions and names sometimes change from one dish to another.

The same applies to making guacamole. There are many recipes are many… really, all good and delicious, so here are some recipes with a few differences between them, you decide which one you like better.
I hope this will be a useful appetizer for your next Mexican theme party.
