Notes

To make sure your guacamole is top-notch, here are some tips and tricks to consider.
First, make sure your avocados are fully ripe before preparing them. You can tell they are ripe by gently pressing the skin, and if it gives slightly, then it's ready to be used.
Another tip is to use a fork to mash the avocados, rather than a blender or food processor. This will give your guacamole a chunkier texture and prevent it from becoming too smooth and watery.
If you're looking to add more flavor to your guacamole, try adding some diced red onion, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, or some fresh lime juice. You can also add a squeeze of lime to give it a citrusy kick.
Finally, to prevent your guacamole from turning brown, cover it with plastic wrap and press it down so that the wrap is touching the surface of the guacamole. This will minimize the amount of air that touches the guacamole and prevent it from oxidizing.
If you are making a large batch of this simple guacamole recipe, try using a potato masher instead of a fork. It will make smashing the avocados go much quicker.
