Guaka Khan    

Here’s my take on the traditional guacamole. I like flavor and good color in my foods. I only use fresh ingredients and the measurements for ingredients are estimates. Flavor to taste/style. If you don’t like one of the ingredients, don’t use it. Be creative. Have fun. Eat good food. Guaka Khan everybody, everybody Guaka Khan!

2-4 avocadoes, peeled, seeded
½ cup minced onion.  I use red onion for color, but sweet white onion is good too!
1 red Roma tomato, seeded, diced
1-2 garlic cloves, chopped
½ cup chopped cilantro leaves
1 lime, quartered
Sea salt

Place avocado in a bowl and mash coarsely. Add remaining ingredients and mix gently.  Squeeze juice from lime quarters and add sea salt. Test and add flavor, as you desire from above ingredients.

If you want to add some spicy goodness to your Guaka Khan, add 1 tsp ground cumin and add your favorite chopped or minced peppers. Enjoy!  -Jason

I Dream Of Beanie Chorizo-Infused Bean Dip

I’m a pretty simple man, and this is a pretty simple, but hardy, bean dip recipe. Some might argue it’s on the full-meal side of the scale. Consider filling a tortilla shell with it for lunch sometime.

Two 16-oz cans of refried beans (preferably with green chilies)
½ lbs ground chorizo sausage, chopped up, fried, and drained
¼ cup chopped onions
¼ cup chopped green bell peppers
¼ cup chopped red bell peppers
½ cup canned corn, drained
Two or three diced jalapenos (adjust to personal taste)

Fry up the ground chorizo. Drain the fat. Combine all ingredients in a small pot. Stir while heating to bubbling. Dip some chips and enjoy!  -Kid
