Another meal on the run...
Yesterday was hockey practice (I know it's spring, don't ask) and piano lessons. I needed a quick meal for everyone. Of course, I couldn't pick up a few burgers from Micky D's for the kids. That would be too simple.
So, I grilled some beef burgers from the local butcher for the kids. Slathered it with a home made guacamole and served it with a side salad. To tie the meal together, I snipped cilantro into the salad, added some corn and red onion to give it a south west feel.
My husband had a Boca burger with the same guacamole.
As I said, it was a meal on the run, nothing fancy last night, but the guac helped to make it more than the same boring meal.
Here is the quick guacamole recipe that made the everyday burger a hit!
Ingredients:
2 ripe haas avocados
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/8 cup chopped red onion
1 small tomato diced
2 tablespoons of fresh Cilantro
juice of one lime
a few shots of hot sauce to taste
salt and pepper
Directions:
Cut avocados down the middle and remove pit. Remove avocado with a spoon and place in a medium size bowl with garlic, onion and cilantro. mash up the avocado and mix well with the other ingredients. Add remaining ingredients and mix gently.
If you have everything on hand, it only takes 20 minutes to make. the simple guacamole will elevate your boring burger to something special.
