Notes
- Use fresh limes rather than bottled lime juice for the best flavor.
- Mexican limes yield about 1 to 2 tablespoons of juice; adjust quantity as needed.
- Choose large ripe avocados for this recipe; add an extra avocado if only small ones are available.
- To keep leftover guacamole fresh and green, store in airtight containers with plastic wrap pressed on the surface.
