"This is great! I usually add the lime zest too and I like more tang so I add more cumin and garlic if I'm making it just for me. Taste it as you go and salt in steps, not just at the end. "

"Me thinks it ridiculous to rank a recipe with 5 stars when you have to make substantial changes to the recipe in order to make it taste good! This recipe is a great example. Sandra really hurts the recipe by using store bought guacamole and then does not bother specifying a brand. C'mon, Sandra! You mention Lawry and Knudsen and many other brands."

"I agree with hcasio.... this was good but it is not great. And, more importantly, it was easy to make. I deducted a star because Sandra did not strongly encourage the use of fresh lime juice (The bottled stuff is no substitute, IMO) and because she did not encourage the use of a specific jarred salsa.

I have also tried adding 1 tsp of allspice to the meat sauce which made for an interesting touch of flavor but I have also tried adding a couple anchovies to the olive oil and onion saute step and this really ads another depth of flavor to this recipe. To even add more interesting"

"I want to shout a loud thank you to ivetaJ of Vancouver for posting her comments back on 8-26-11. I too was impatient about whipping the egg whites and I also folded the egg whites and whipped cream into the chocolate mixture a little too quickly, I guesss, because I got a soupy mix and not a velvety mix. I also served this up in expresso cups for"

"This recipe was da bomb! Great flavors. I think that these "early" recipes by Emeril are his very best. I loved the suggestion by sbwilson of Salem, Oregon, posted back on 1-27-12, about using dried wild mushrooms and mushroom "stock" along with the chicken stock. This made a great recipe even better!
