Notes
Be sure to use ripe avocados. They're more flavorful and mash easily for me.
If I'm making these ahead of time, I cover them with plastic wrap to keep them fresh.
When I'm ready to serve, I add extra lime juice to keep the guacamole from browning.
Mixing it up with different toppings like cheese or herbs can also add fun variety!
