Notes
- You can use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados to the consistency you like (chunky or smooth). The potato masher is great if you want a really smooth dip. Use a fork for chunkier guacamole.
- If your avocados are on the small side and you don't seem to have enough, you can add a little sour cream to bulk it up.
- Marinate the onions and garlic with the lime juice first! This takes a little bit of the bite out of the fresh onions and imparts a great mellow flavor. Simply mix the onions, garlic, lime juice, and salt together in the bowl and let them sit for 10 minutes before adding in the avocado and mashing.
