I have to admit that I LOVE Mexican food.  Tacos, burritos, quesadillas .. all of it.  It may be related to my avocado fixation, but who cares .. guacamole is just THE BEST, amiright?!

There’s a lot of avocado love out there these days, and for good reason.  Apart from the flavour and texture of avocado, I love it for its abundance of vitamins and minerals, heart healthy monounsaturated fat (oleic acid), fibre, antioxidants (carotenoids – for eye health) and health benefits that may extend to improved absorption of fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E & K), cancer inhibition, arthritis relief, reduced cholesterol and triglycerides and yes, weight loss too!

Tacos are a go-to meal in our house and this guacamole recipe is just so darned delicious that I had to share it with you.  There are the purists out there that will tell you guacamole is best with only 3 ingredients – avocado, lime and sea salt (and that really is delicious) – but this one is worth a try .. trust me!

One notable thing is the addition of basil, which may seem a bit unorthodox but was born out of my husband’s dislike of cilantro.  It actually tastes amazing (with or without cilantro too) and gives it a slightly unexpected flavour.

Break out the tortilla chips and give it a try!
