Guacamole
Fresh, creamy and full of flavor — simple ingredients, restaurant-style at home, perfect for any occasion.
Bobbie's tips: use ripe avocados (they should feel slightly soft but not mushy); for a smoother guacamole, mash more — for chunky, mash less; remove jalapeño seeds for a milder flavor or keep them for more heat; add a pinch of cumin for a deeper, restaurant-style flavor; make it just before serving for the best color and flavor; if making ahead, press plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent browning. Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface — best within 1–2 days; to prevent browning, add an extra layer of lime juice or keep the pit in the container (it helps but is not foolproof).
