Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be. Look for avocados that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Choose the right tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are the best choice for guacamole because they are less watery than other varieties.
- Chop the ingredients finely: This will help the guacamole to have a smooth, creamy texture.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cilantro, cumin, or chili powder.
- Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served fresh. It will start to brown after about 30 minutes, so if you are not serving it right away, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover avocados. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious guacamole that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dish to make, give guacamole a try.
