Keep Guacamole Fresh

I like to make guacamole ahead of time for my favorite chicken quesadillas. I’ve found that if the avocado pit is added to the guacamole and the dish is covered, the guacamole retains its pretty, green color. —Pam Ubl, Coon Rapids, Minnesota

This is a great way to have guacamole in a hury. I did add a little fresh squeezed lemon juice and ground black pepper. For the salsa I used a jarred chuncky picante.

I liked the recipe a lot, although I'd add more salsa for a little more zip! A few droops of Cholula sauce ( found in mexican section in your grocery store) is awesome. This is good spread over the top of a quesadilla made with reduced fat cheese & a little of the Cholula sauce sprinkled to taste, yummmm!
