Notes
- You can easily double this recipe if you're making it for a crowd.
- Guacamole doesn't keep well once made. To preserve it, place a piece of plastic wrap inside the bowl, pressing it onto the surface of the leftover guacamole, so no air is touching the dip. It can be stored this way for up to 24 hours.
