Notes
My Top Tip: Chop the mix-ins finely. Small pieces distribute more evenly, so every scoop has a little bit of everything.
Storage: Store any leftover homemade guacamole in an airtight container. It will last about 3-4 days in the fridge. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface to help prevent browning. If some browning happens, scrape off the browned layer before serving.
