Southwestern Spiced Guacamole

By

I have seen and tried hundreds of guacamole recipes, and I'm not sure if it's possible to say one is an original recipe. That being said, I adapted this from my aunts simple and basic guacamole recipe. It's the way I like it, hot and spicy, and at this time is my favorite guacamole recipe. Serve as you would any guacamole - as a dip with chips, a topping for tacos, casseroles or burritos, etc.
