This fabulous recipe from Foodie Bride, which I adapted to use a grill pan, kicks guacamole up a major notch! Tossing in some sweetness and added texture makes an already good guacamole recipe GREAT, and even if you’re skeptical one tortilla-full will have you convinced! Or, taco full. Or, let’s just say a heaping mouthful. No time for tacos.
