Cinco De Mayo Fiesta!! Part 3

So after I made the two salsas, I figured I should make some guacamole. Because really…what mexican fiesta is complete without guac.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 avacados – pico de gallo – salt and pepper – tortilla chips

Since I had just made the pico de gallo, the guacamole was super simple to put together. All you have to do is mash up the avocados, add some pico de gallo and salt and pepper, and mix. And there you have it.

Talk about simple, this was for sure the quickest part of the meal I made.

Tip:

I had half an avocado that I had saved from the other night with this funny goop I found at Sur La Table. It’s just the rubbery-flubber like thing that you put over your avocados and it keeps them fresh for a few days! It’s GENIUS!! I suggest everyone go get one, if you eat avocados as much as I do. I think it was about $5, a steal!

Cindo De Mayo Fiesta!! Part Two

After I made fresh pico de gallo, I thought “Why stop there?!?!”. So I decided to make some fresh corn salsa! I have never made this before, but after my Food Network watching, I just knew I could do it.

Ingredients:

Half of a red onion – 2 jalapeños – handful of fresh cilantro – 2 bags of frozen sweet corn (I used the steamer version, you just microwave each bag for 4 mins 30 secs, super simple!) – chips(duh)

First, dice the red onion. Add to bowl.

Next, dice the 2 jalapeños. I left almost all the seeds in this one, because I knew the sweet corn would counteract it so it still wouldn’t be too spicy.

Next, add the sweet corn. Finely chop/tear the fresh cilantro and add to bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix. And BOOM. Corn Salsa complete!!

It’s beyond tasty, and trust me, your boyfriend will love you for it. Unless it’s my boyfriend, who doesn’t like corn. I found this out yesterday, after I slaved in the kitchen for a hour making all these salsas. But he LOVED the pico de gallo, so I decided it was okay. haha

Let me know what you think! What do you like better….corn salsa or pico de gallo??
