authentic mexican guacamole

A perfectly rìpe avocado – the kìnd you want for thìs recìpe – ìs purple-black ìn color and yìelds to gentle pressure. An over-rìpe avocado ìs black and mushy.

Although there are plenty of varìatìons on thìs tradìtìonal Mexìcan favorìte, let me tell you – from Calìfornìa to Mexìco thìs ìs the best guacamole recìpe I’ve found.
