How easy can it get? This was made in literally 2 minutes. Sorry, I have no idea what Picante sauce is, so substituted Tabasco.. um,... let me tell you that a decent half teaspoon of the stuff is too much .. (not that I'm really good dealing with fire anyway) so I needed to add another avocado to balance things out a bit and tone down the fire. NO fault of the recipe of course, just a warning to those who also can't get hold of Picante sauce and are experimenting with a substitution. Add just a smidgen and then taste *before* adding more LOL. I like to try as many Guac recipes as I can, and hands down this is the fastest and easiest, but if I can get the hot sauce to replace the more diverse tastes of previous recipes as favourite remains to be seen. Please see my rating system, a lovely 4 stars :) Thanks! Editing to add: I got a note from No MSG after my review and found her comments so helpful that I will add them here for those who also do not know what Pace medium picante sauce is: "The picante sauce that we use has tomatoes, peppers, and onions so it's a real short cut to cutting them all up yourself. Tabasco really isn't the same thing but would spice it up in a pinch. I don't know if you have access to any kind of Mexican salsa or a chunky, spicy sauce with the above-mentioned vegetables in it. That would be closer to what we would use here." I will now look for the correct thing and try again, Thanks, No MSG!

I am married to my best friend, Robin, and we have a six year old daughter named Haley. I like to read, cook, and travel; I'm trying to become a knitter and I'm an inconsistent gardener.
I love to be creative with existing ingredients in my pantry and fridge and make something interesting, especially the last week before my once-a-month payday :) I do create a lot of recipes, but I rarely make the same thing twice (or even remember what I made) and don't tend to keep track of measurements. This is my biggest impediment to posting here on 'Zaar.
Cooking Pet Peeves: recipes with Campbell's soup, prepared mixes, and other processed foods. I also hate that the food supply in the US is so loaded with additives, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, etc. I try to buy organic as much as possible to support the movement toward healthier food. When I get discouraged about the price, I remind myself that it's cheaper and much less painful than being sick.
