A regrettable lack of guac.

Sheesh. We are having nachos for supper because they are quick, easy, don't heat the house up and nummy to boot.

When nachoing, one must have some basic and required ingredients:

tortilla chips
seasoned meat
refried beans
onions
tomatoes*
jalapenos*
cheese
sour cream
guacamole

A very simple list but every one of those ingredients is absolutely vital to a good nacho.

The nearest grocery had no premade guac. They didn't even have an avocado!

I make lousy guacamole so the lack of avocadoness isn't really such a bad thing. But no premade guacamole at all? If it wasn't so damned hot I could have driven another 10 miles to my Favorite Grocery where they carry a brand of guac that is simply divine. It isn't packaged in bottles or cans it's in a snazzy package quite similar to tofu packaging. It is possible for me to eat a whole pack of it in one sitting with a spoon. nomnomnomnomnomnomnom

So, I ended up with "guacamole dip." Um, well, sort of guacamole dip. After the sour cream and chemicals and citric acid and all that other crap there is avocado. Supposedly there is avocado.

I'll be greatly surprised if the stuff tastes anything at all like guac.

* I have 2 smallish romas that are ripe that I will use and lots of beautiful jalapenos. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy!
