Made this to accompany your guacamole tonight. It was good however everyone thought it was a little to thick and that something was missing. I did leave out the jalapeno chilies as I knew the kids would have said it was too spicy. I think next time I will add them as I am sure they would definitely add to the flavor. I will also try thinning it ever so slightly with milk and see if that helps. I will definitely keep the recipe on hand for potlucks or other finger food gatherings. Thanks for posting Terese.
