CINCO DE MAYO GUACAMOLE
It's Cinco de Mayo, and I'm CRAVING guacamole... I totally threw this together on a whim, and I think it was one of the BEST I've ever made. Please note that I used my Penzey's Smokey Flavored Salt for the salt listed in the recipe. Plain old salt is ok too!

AWARD WINNING CINCO DE MAYO GUACAMOLE WITH BLUE CHEESE AND SAGE
I saw this on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Michael Simon was raving over it. It sounded so interesting I had to make it and just happened to have everything on hand(okay, I was out of cilantro, but didn't let that stop me). I didn't have the six pepper blend, but did have black, white and pink peppers, so used that in the pepper mill. This is very different from the traditional guacamole. The name of the episode, was the totally unexpected, after all. Adapted from Web Gangsta who recreated the recipe from Lopez Southwestern Kitchen in Cleveland, Ohio. http://thewebgangsta.com/index.php/2010/05/award-winning-recipe-for-cinco-de-mayo-guacamole-with-blue-cheese-and-bacon-inspired-by-food-network/

AWARD WINNING GUACAMOLE
This recipe comes from The Best of Mexico cookbook. It won first place at my work site last year during our annual Cinco Day Mayo salsa and guacamole competition. Wear gloves when you chop the Serrano chilies. There is not a lot of lime juice in this recipe so prepare it as close to serving time as possible to avoid browning.

Tips:
- For the creamiest guacamole, use ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- To easily scoop out the avocado flesh, cut the avocado in half lengthwise and twist the two halves in opposite directions. The pit will come out with one half.
- If you don't have a molcajete, you can use a mortar and pestle or a food processor to make the guacamole. Just be careful not to over-process it, or you'll end up with mashed avocado instead of guacamole.
- For a spicier guacamole, add more chopped jalapeño pepper. For a milder guacamole, remove the seeds from the jalapeño pepper before chopping.
- To keep your guacamole from turning brown, sprinkle it with lime juice or lemon juice. You can also store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
