Guacamole

We eat Mexican inspired dishes at least once a week.  This tasty nacho recipe with the salsa and guacamole might just be our new go-to meal.  The smoky flavor of the black beans and chorizo blended with the creamy cheeze topped with the moderate spice of the roasted salsa and the guac -OH THE GUAC!  I am in love with this guac.
