What's Cookin'? Tacos and Guacamole!

In homage to her Southwestern roots, assistant editor Shelby Hill's signature dish is tacos with guac.

"I like my guac finely chopped. An avocado

slicer helps me keep cutting time to a minimum."

Avocado Slicer Progressive International $15.99

"Guests will definitely want seconds, so keep extra tortillas warm while you eat. I love corn tortillas!"

Tortilla Warmer Fox Run Craftsmen $20.74

"The best part about tacos is that there's very little actual cooking involved. All you really need is a good frying pan to brown the meat.

I prefer lean ground turkey."

"Make guacamole caveman-style by crushing herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper to perfection. This hot red mortar can double as a serving bowl."

"Take a casual meal like tacos to the next level with classy, yet playfully patterned, cloth napkins."

"Brightly colored serving bowls set the fiesta mood. I fill mine with taco fixings like cheese, lettuce, jalapenos, and salsa."

Origo Orange Bowl iittala $29.00

"Always keep a telephone handy—no, not for the fire department—for takeout in case my signature meal doesn't go as planned."
