It's perfection in a bowl and here is my secret....Chobani Plain Greek Yogurt (Forrest is going to gag when he reads this...like I said before, he's a yogurt hater). My favorite place to go for chunky guac is Rojo's in Birmingham or La Parilla in Dothan...both places have dank guacamole and they both use a scoop of sour cream when they make their delicious green goop. I'm not a huge fan of sour cream (plus it's fatty) so this plain greek yogurt is tart and does the trick. Back to the task at hand, smash one avocado in a bowl and mix in one tablespoon of plain greek yogurt. Dice a roma tomato, one fresh jalapeño, some purple onion, green bell pepper, and lots of cilantro. Combine all that goodness and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, taco seasoning, and hot pepper flakes....obviously if you don't like the tongue-burn you can omit the jalapeño/hot pepper flakes. Drench the guacamole with lime juice (not only for taste but the acidity helps keep the guacamole going from green to brownish). Next, I cut up a zucchini and squash....brushed with olive oil and Forrest grilled them outside....it's my healthy alternative to destroying a bag of tortilla chips with the guacamole. The hummus was a leftover bonus...it's original hummus from Publix and I jazzed it up with extra olive oil, parsley, and paprika. This was such a tasty and easy dinner....and now it's couch time. P.S. Forrest is taking a break from the brews tonight....but don't worry, he'll be back on the wagon tomorrow night ;) |

I've been having serious withdrawals from guacamole. Years and years ago, I hated guac.....actually I wouldn't even try it because I thought it looked like a baby's.....I'll spare you that information. Eventually I came around, tried it, and now I love it the most. Many of the Mexican restaurants have really smooth, almost fake-like guacamole (like they squeezed it out of a toothpaste tube) and I prefer mine fresh, chunky, and spicy! Here was our guacamole, hummus, and grilled veggie dinner.....
