Guacamole Rotel

Submitted by PaulaG

"I was in the process of making a "quick" guacamole to go with fajitas. The salsa I had planned to use had gone bad. Rotel to the rescue. I drained a can of Rotel tomatoes and dinner was saved."

Thank you so much for your recipe for guacamole. I'm planning on a taco casserole for supper, but found I had forgotten the fresh tomatoes and lime. I looked on line and found your recipe. I had everything, even the lemon. I have it in the frig now for the ingredients to marry, and I must say, it tastes wonderful! Can't wait for supper!!

A can of Rotel is the easiest way to make outstanding guacamole! Just open a can, mash an avocado with a potato masher, add the other ingredients and presto! Some tips are to make sure that you drain the can thoroughly so the end product isn't watery, and don't use the Habanero type unless you are sure your friends like spicy food. I usually use key lime juice instead of lemon juice. Also one big Florida avocado is the perfect size for one can. Thanks for posting the recipe here!
