Guacamole with Pico de Gallo

People are particular about guacamole. It’s weird that a food (Condiment? Dip? All-around all-star accompaniment to meals and parties!) that has really only gained traction in the U.S. outside of the Southwest in the last couple of decades could inspire such rabid allegiance to one style or another. When you have ripe avocados, tomatoes, onions, peppers and heat, I say you are probably going to have something good. 

I have already shared with you a Tomatillo and Poblano Guacamole (that’s really good, too), but this is the guacamole we have for most occasions at our house. Yeah, we’re out here in the Midwest and no, we’re not of Latino ancestry, but this mix is straight up high caliber.
