Being raised in southern California as I was means one thing, if the weather is warm we are eating guacamole! My father has 3 very large avocado trees in his yard that produce enough of this green gold for not only his guacamole needs, but almost all of mine too. I cannot think of anything better than fresh guacamole and toasty tortilla chips on any given day.

This is an easy guacamole recipe that offers you the option of making it either chunky or creamy (it's up to you!) Since I love spicy foods, this has 2 serrano chiles in it. This is an optional ingredient and should be removed if you are not a big chile fan.

Please link to this site if you own a blog and have enjoyed this recipe...cheers!
