    My husband adores Mexican food from tiny, hole-in-the-wall type restaurants. When we move he spends months trying new locations out looking for the perfect dining establishment.

    His favorite restaurant in Reno, Nevada is scenically located between a gas station and a pet groomer. While the location lacks ambiance, it has some of the tastiest pork carnitas I have ever eaten.

    And the guacamole. Oh, the guacamole!

    Stuff vs. No Stuff

    I divide the world into two type of people: those who like stuff in their guacamole and those who do not. I have always been a strictly lime, salt, and avocado girl; until I ordered guacamole from this tiny unassuming joint.

    The World’s Best Guacamole

    The guacamole was spread on a platter with homemade tortillas chips stuck into it like swarming shark fins. It was loaded with jalapeno, onions, cilantro, and tomato. It was HEAVEN.

    From that day on, I skipped the entrée and always ordered the guacamole as my dinner. It was that good.

    Two Way Guacamole Recipe

    Our next move took us far away from Nevada and my favorite guacamole. I recreated the recipe so we could enjoy it at home.

    I call my version two-way guacamole because we have a few “no-stuff in the guacamole” family members and a few who love all the additions. This recipe makes great basic guacamole and then turns half into spicy supreme guacamole.
