Difficulty/Easy
Not every guacamole recipe is created equal. The ingredients seem basic enough, but to elevate your guac from good to great you need just the right ratio of ingredients. Too many additions can also take away from the true star of the show: that perfectly ripe avo you worked hard to find. Say hello to your new favorite guacamole.
