How to Make EASY Guacamole: 2 mashed avocados, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 lime juice. Mix together and serve with tacos.


How to Make Pickled Onions: Thinly slice red onion, add to a jar or bowl with 1 1/2 cups of apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar, 2 tbsp coconut sugar (or regular sugar), and 1/4 tsp salt. Let sit with vinegar for 30 minutes while making tacos or several hours. These will pickle even more over time - store refrigerated in a sealed jar for up to 2 weeks.
