OUR FAVORITE MOST AMAZING GUACAMOLE
My husband and I tried a ridiculous amount of guacamole over our decades together, but no recipe ever hit home for us. After much experimenting, I finally created a recipe we can't get enough of. It even beats every restaurant we've ever been to. The two of us can eat this whole bowl in one sitting, and enjoy every bite. I'm so happy to share it with you. Now Taco Tuesday can be any night of the week! Serve it with tortilla chips, or use it to top tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, burritos, and more.

ALMOST-FAMOUS GUACAMOLE
We think we've cracked the code to Chipotle's famous guacamole. The secret--using equal parts fresh lemon and lime juice - adds just enough brightness and tang. If you're feeling fancy, go all out and add a couple tablespoons of diced tomatoes.

AWARD WINNING GUACAMOLE
This recipe comes from The Best of Mexico cookbook. It won first place at my work site last year during our annual Cinco Day Mayo salsa and guacamole competition. Wear gloves when you chop the Serrano chilies. There is not a lot of lime juice in this recipe so prepare it as close to serving time as possible to avoid browning.

THE BEST GUACAMOLE IN THE WORLD
This is the best guacamole I have ever tasted and when I make it everyone loves it. I do not go by a recipe. Everything is pretty much to taste so I hope I figured this recipe pretty well. Also, I do not add salt to mine but everyone else that I know would rather have it salted.

Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be.
- Choose the right avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and that yield to gentle pressure when you squeeze them.
- Prepare the avocados properly: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your guacamole will taste.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.
- Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served immediately after it is made, as it will start to brown over time.
