Used 2 mangos & 2 avocados instead of 3 - abit more lime juice b/c had to refrig & did not want avocao browning. 1 whole seeded jalapeno made for a a delicious slow heat that creeps up on you - cool, smooth texure & crunch of fresh tortilla chips with mellow warmth - PEFECT WITH ICED MARGARITAS!!! -
I had one mango and one avocado so adjusted recipe accordingly and ate the whole thing myself!!! Used 1 whole clove garlic, several pickled jalapeno slices and no cilantro. Wonderful.

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
