How to become everybody’s best friend on game day or taco Tuesday. Step 1: Bring guac. Step 2: Refer to step 1. But seriously. This guacamole recipe is one of my go-to snacks for when we’re getting together with friends. Fresh homemade guacamole is easy peasy, and it’s always a fan favorite. The addition of cumin makes a big difference in depth of flavor, and plenty of cilantro and lime brighten things up.
Now, who’s bringing the margaritas?
