Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados to get the best texture for mashing.
- Add more lime juice if you want a tangier flavor or to prevent browning.
- Feel free to customize decorations with other toppings like sliced jalapeños or cherry tomatoes.
- This guacamole is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours covered tightly to prevent browning.
