November 14: National Guacamole Day!

I’m pretty picky about my guacamole. It needs to be thoroughly mashed (I like avocados, but I don’t want a huge chunk of plain avocado in my guac), but not whipped so it’s texture-free. It needs to have the correct amount of salt. No one likes bland mush. It needs a bit of lime in it. It needs to have a bit of heat. And, this one will perhaps be controversial, but it shouldn’t contain tomatoes.

In a pinch, Chipotle makes really decent guac. It could stand to be spicier, but overall… it’s a solid guacamole! It has a nice consistency, it’s (usually) well-seasoned, and it doesn’t contain tomatoes. Hooray!

Tomorrow: National Raisin Bran Day!
