Tips
- To know when an avocado is ready, press it, and it should rebound back slightly.
- Move the avocado, not the knife, when cutting.
- Smoother limes will have more juice than wrinkly ones.
- Rolling the lime before squeezing helps to get more juice out.
- Remove the seeds from tomatoes to prevent watery guacamole.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, ensuring flavors are on point, including lime juice.
- Molcajetes mash ingredients and extract flavor, making for a really good guacamole
