Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge. Make sure to cover it with a piece of plastic wrap pressed on top of the guacamole so it is touching it. This usually prevents it from browning. If some browning does occur, just scrape the browned layer off and serve.
Make Ahead Tips: You can make chop all the ingredients and juice the lime up to a day in advance. Then you can mash the avocado and assemble before enjoying.
