recommendation: best guac and salsa recipes

i love Mexican food. on a different level. i could eat a taco a day. enchilada's, quesadillas, tostadas and burritos, I love it all. and I don't know how I got this lucky but my sister makes the worlds best guacamole and my sister-in-law makes the best salsa, both of which go perfect with all of my favorite Mexican entrees! how great is that? Jennifer made this guac for a Mexican family feast and Hannah made the salsa for our super bowl party, so I can attest to the yumminess of both! here are their recipes!

Jenn's Guac from Vegonomics:
3 avocados, smashed
1/2 red onion, diced
1 tomato, diced
1 tsp garlic, minced
salt, pepper for seasoning
1/2-1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 lime, squeezed for juice

directions: combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix together.

Hannah's Salsa:
Chili's Copycat Salsa Recipe: (Recipe from Deals to Meals)
2 cans (14.5 oz each) whole tomatoes, drained
1 small (4 oz) can diced or whole jalapenos (not pickled)--about 4-5 jalapenos (or less if you don't like a lot of spice)
1/4 c. yellow onion, cut into quarters (you can also use dried minced onion)
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 to 1 tsp. salt (depending on how much you prefer)
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. lime juice

Place all of the ingredients together into a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Serve with tortilla chips.

enjoy and TGIF! Have a great weekend, weather is supposed to be LOVELY! I'm finishing my 'container' garden on my deck this weekend so be on the lookout for a post on that next week!
