Easy Guacamole

. Whether you're scooping it onto tacos, spreading it on toast, or just going straight from bowl to chip, this version keeps it simple, fresh, and packed with flavor. The real secret? Perfectly ripe avocados and the brightness of fresh lime juice to tie it all together.

This is the kind of recipe that doesn’t need fancy tools, just a big bowl and a good appetite. If you like your guacamole chunky, leave it rustic. If you like it smooth and spoonable, go in with a fork or masher. If you have one; a Molcajetes is my favorite way to go. Either way, once you make it yourself, store-bought will never hit the same.
