On Cinco de Mayo this year, I did a live chat with my Instagram and Facebook followers making tamales for the first time and having a couple margaritas. I made this tasty guacamole with tomatoes before making vegan tamales with chili lime jackfruit carnitas with my kitchen sidekick (boyfriend) and I to eat as we cooked. This was a good idea, because me + margaritas + cooking = very late dinner. I talked so much on the live and was pretty unorganized to be honest, so they weren’t done until 11pm that evening! However, they were quite delicious and so was this tasty guacamole with tomatoes!

I was thinking this recipe might be a little over simplistic to add to my blog, but then again, I remember that most of the time we are all looking for simple recipes. I also am avidly opinionated in saying this is the only way to do guacamole right!
