Salsa/Guacamole Burger - Dinner #5

This is kind of a messy burger...but it is soooo good!

The first time I made salsa - it took a couple of hours to chop every pepper, onion, tomato by hand...perfect little cubes of colorful flavor!  My family thought it was amazing!  I'm not sure if it tasted that good...or if they just saw how long it took me to make it...a true labor of love!  The bowl of salsa grew everytime I made it...and soon it was a "tub" of salsa...and a real chore!   Then one day my friend, Ruthann,  introduced me to the "Vidalia Onion Chop Wizard"....hallelujah!!  A truly great invention (you can get one at Target). 

Salsa

1 green pepper
1 orange pepper
1 yellow pepper
12 -15 (Firm)  Roma tomatoes
3 jalapenos
1 bunch of cilantro - finely chopped (need about 1/3 cup)
2 limes juiced
1 large white onion
1 Tablespoon of garlic salt
Chop and mix all together - add tomatoes last. 

If you have any leftover...it can be used in many things...omelets, cooked rice, salads, etc.

Guacamole

2 avocados
1 tsp garlic salt
juice of 1 lime

Mash it!  :-)  I use a potato smasher.  Make it right before you need it because it starts to turn brown in the fridge.  You can add other things if you like...tomato, onion, black bean & corn......I like it plain.
