Want to share a guacamole recipe for tomorrow I found on the net ...This recipe only serves two so shop for how ever many you want to feed...

Guacamole en Molcajete
Prep:
Cook:
Ready in:
Serves: 2
?????

Ingredients
1 Hass avocado
3 Tbsp chopped onions
1 tsp chopped seeded jalapeño chile
1 1/2 tsp chopped cilantro
2 Tbsp chopped tomato (discard juice & seeds)
Salt
Cooking Instructions
In a bowl using the back of a wooden spoon thoroughly mash the following ingredients into a juicy paste (using salt as a grinder): 1 T chopped onions ½ tsp chopped jalapeños ½ tsp chopped cilantro ½ tsp salt

Holding the avocado in the cup of your hand split the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the seed. Slice the avocado lengthwise in approx. 1/8? strips; then slice across forming a grid. Scoop the avocado out of the skin with a spoon. Repeat with other half of avocado.

Add the avocado to the paste and thoroughly mix together. We mix the ingredients rather than mash them; this leaves the guacamole chunky and somewhat firm not mushy. Then add the rest of the ingredients and fold them together gently. Add jalapeño chiles and salt to taste.

Serve with fresh corn tortillas and/or chips.

Instead of starting a new thread about mayonnaise ( I know they're pronounced differently lol ) I'm going to post it here....With the pool party BBQ's approaching..can we please ban Miracle Whip from the face of the earth? It is deezgustink!!! Let this serve as fair warning...any potato, pasta or macaroni salads made with this gelatinous putrid spread will end up being tossed in your pools and ruin your filters...I'll just grab a burger and run!!

Cause when you bring out the Hellman's ....you bring out the best!

Bally, Don't forget to add some lime juice to your guacamole. And for a little more heat, try Serrano peppers instead of Jalepeno's.

found another recipe...but I'm not adding raisins LOL

Pork Picadillo Empanadas

These Latin-spiced turnovers are filling enough to be a main dish. Serve with a tossed salad of lettuce, avocado slices, and orange wedges.

Ingredients
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced seeded jalapeño pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash of cloves
3/4 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/3 cup raisins
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (14.5-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, undrained
12 Savory Cornmeal-Whole Wheat Dough circles

Preparation
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and jalapeño; sauté 4 minutes or until tender. Stir in chili powder and next 4 ingredients (through cloves); cook 1 minute. Add pork; sauté 5 minutes or until pork is browned on all sides. Stir in raisins, tomato paste, salt, and tomatoes. Reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes or until most of liquid evaporates. Cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 425°.

Place the Savory Cornmeal-Whole Wheat Dough circles on lightly floured surface. Spoon 1/4 cup pork mixture into center of each circle. Fold dough over filling; press edges together with a fork or fingers to seal. Place empanadas on large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pierce the top of each once with a fork. Bake at 425° for 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.

Yield
12 servings (serving size: 1 empanada)
