Guacamole
There is nothing better than homemade guacamole and this super easy guacamole is always a big hit. Tomatillos make this guacamole a little more tang than your regular version. Plus I love guac with a lot of garlic, lime, and a lot of cilantro. Below is the mild version I make my kids, but it is even more delicious when you kick up the heat and add a whole jalapeño. I often keep a jar of the tomatillo, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro mixture in the fridge, and then just smash up a new avocado so there is always a fresh batch of guacamole around!
