ok amateur cook here (shameless excitement for myself)NOW W/ RECIPES
and I made "Carne Asada" with homemade guacamole a little while ago and let me tell you, it was damnnnnnn good, I'm really proud of myself! I have zero confidence when it comes to cooking, but I force myself to try whatever recipe interests me. Hey my grandmothers and mother are awesomeeeeeee cooks so maybe some of it rubbed off on me? I hope so! 
ETA Thanks girlies....I added the recipe for both the meat and the guacamole....ENJOY!
