Poor Man's Butter (Sort of Chunky Guacamole)
"I originally found this in a Junior League Cookbook from El Paso, Texas. It is called Mantequilla de pobre (Poor man's butter). I have tweaked the original recipe by adding garlic, jalapeño and a can of mild green chilies. People actually devour this - hardly coming up for air! I am frequently asked for this recipe, I am posting it so that I can just send the link! If I remember correctly, I usually end up adding a bit more of the red wine vinegar than is called for here. I think that really makes it! Don't omit the cilantro!!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in southwest Florida and I love to cook for family and friends. I've been a "foodie" for years, and I'm always reading cookbooks and cooking magazines. I love cats and had four until my darling Himalayan Pillsbury recently died. I'm also a tennis and football fan.
