  • Juice from one small lime used as a preserverative to help prevent browning
  • Rotel or diced tomatoes optional, but fun to include a few on top when serving

  • Blend until smooth.

Notes

This recipe yields about 2 cups of guacamole.  I typically make the full recipe for entertaining and half the recipe when serving with a family meal.
Avoid using underripe or overripe avocados. Try to choose avocados that are slightly soft to the touch from the outside.
Remember that oxygen and cut avocados don't get along. Take precautions to not have your cut avocados "exposed" for too long before making the guacamole. See the above post for further suggestions!
