GUACAMOLE - REAL AUTHENTIC MEXICAN "GUAC"
I am surprised how difficult it is to find a genuine guacamole recipe. No need for mayo or sour cream or all the other additives. This is the original, handed down generations, yet the most simple basic way to make Guacamole. I even make it better than my Mother in Law, which is a hard act to follow. :) Make this recipe and you will never go back. Hope you enjoy this like all my friends and family do.

- Cut into wedges and fry in plenty of very hot oil.
- Lightly salt them before serving.
- Excellent topping for flautas, tostadas and tacos, also good in omelets.

- If you are in a hurry, follow the steps below.
- Drain the salsa before using.
- Add to avocado and lime juice, then mash with fork.
- Check for flavor and heat while adding the drained salsa.
- Reserve juice from drained salsa to control the body of the final mix.

Tips:
- Select ripe avocados: Choose avocados that are firm but slightly soft when gently squeezed. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have blemishes.
- Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your guacamole will depend on the freshness of your ingredients. Use ripe avocados, fresh cilantro, and lime juice for the best flavor.
- Taste and adjust seasonings: Guacamole is a versatile dish that can be customized to your taste preferences. Add more salt, lime juice, or cilantro as needed.
- Keep guacamole fresh: Store guacamole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To prevent the guacamole from browning, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole.
