In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.


This guacamole uses green salsa (made with tomatillos) instead of the traditional tomato salsa. The green salsa gives it a little extra tart bite that pairs well with salty tortilla chips.


5 ripe avocados
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup salsa verde (green salsa)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it starts to become creamy but is still chunky. Add the red onion, lemon juice, salsa verde, and cilantro. Mix well.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a condiment for your favorite tacos or fajitas.
If a spicier guacamole is desired, add 1 tablespoon of minced jalapeno.

This recipe was the biggest hit at our recipe testing event. It's surprising since it's so simple. The salsa verde we used was mild but added depth to a standard guacamole recipe. You could use different heat levels to get different results.
