Creamy Guacamole

Food & Fun - By on

Sour cream adds a cool creaminess to this riff on guacamole Rach made for Cinco de Mayo. 

"I thought it would be fun to chill it out," Rach says about her riff on the classic Mexican side. "And John LOVES sour cream!"

For Rach's Cinco de Mayo menu, she serves this with her Old Bay Shrimp Quesadillas and a side of Tex-Mex Black Beans.
