Tips for Making Guacamole

I've learned a few things about Guacamole, even though I'm a short time connoisseur of this amazing dish.

One, don't mash the avocados too much. I find the consistency and how well the ingredients blend together, just tastes so much better when you leave the avocados kind of chunky.

Secondly, use fresh ingredients, whenever possible.

Advice from Angelica

When my husband and I visited Puerto Morelos, we had the privilege and pleasure of eating the freshest and best Mexican food I've ever eaten!

In fact, we met a lady named Angelica who gave us or told us how to prepare several different Mexican dishes. She didn't have a recipe, but rather she told us to mix stuff together until it looked right.

When we returned home from our trip, I instant bought all the ingredients I needed to make guacamole and pico de gallo. Each batch was my new favorite. I learned a lot actually. Like, it's really important to use fresh squeezed limes.
