Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
  • Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to guacamole. Avoid using bottled lime juice, as it can be bitter and artificial-tasting.
  • Don't over-mash the avocados: Guacamole should have a slightly chunky texture. If you over-mash the avocados, it will become too smooth and lose its appeal.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Guacamole is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Some popular toppings include chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeños.
  • Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served immediately after it is made. As it sits, it will start to brown and lose its flavor.
