Cinco de Mayo Margaritas - And a Recipe!!!



If you don't already have margarita glasses for tonight (or for those of you lucky enough to have the afternoon off), stop by Macy's and pick up this set for $29.99 on SALE.

Then, head over to Patina to pick up some onion goggles, to make this fabulous guacamole. From McTatty's Personal Kitchen.

McTatty's Green Guacamole

2 – 3 avocados, peeled and sliced
2 lemons, juiced
½ large red onion OR 1 medium red onion
1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
Kosher salt
Pepper
½ cup cilantro, ROUGHLY chopped
2 – 3 tbsp olive oil, can be EVOO

Throw everything into a food processor except for the olive oil. Drizzle in the olive oil to desired smoothness. Process so that the guac is evenly green and no jalapeño pieces are showing – those who are not used to the heat may not like guac after getting a taste of a hot pepper! I usually top with a pinch more salt, a small sprig of cilantro and pray to the avocado gods that they don’t turn brown overnight, with this much lemon, no worries!

Enjoy and have fun tonight!
