Guacamole is a hugely popular dish. Avocados are a great ingredient, as they provide so much richness and creaminess, but are super healthy. Pairing them with the fresh flavors in this recipe results in a creamy and zingy guac that’s perfect for dipping chips into or layering on top of a bean chili. The lime juice in this stops the avocadoes from going brown, so it can be kept in the fridge for a few days after making. This recipe can be halved or doubled depending on the desired quantity.
