Margaritas + tacos go together like chips + guacamole and we happen to know of a few places offering to-go margarita kits. 🍹 Check out margs by the growler from Publico, house mix from Cantina 76 or the specials from Moctezumas.
Speaking of guacamole, we know at most places guac is extra but so are we. Your COLAtoday editors can snack down on some homemade guacamole. So our gift to you is Lauren’s homemade guacamole recipe to try out tonight. Ingredients + Instructions included below.
Let’s guac and roll
4-5 avocados
Approx. ½ small red onion, diced
Approx. ¼ tomato, diced
Lime juice from one large lime
Salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder to taste
Chili powder, to taste (I like the chili lime seasoning from Trader Joes)
Cilantro (optional, to taste. I use approx. ¼ cup)
In a large bowl, mash avocados (I leave it a little chunky). Dice tomatoes + red onion and stir in. Squeeze lime juice into the mix and add seasonings to taste (If you like a bit of spice, don’t be afraid to go heavier on the cumin and chili powder). Chop cilantro and mix in if desired.
