- Variations
Add store-bought pico de gallo. Just add a few tablespoons of the mixed tomato, onion, lime juice and seasoning condiment to the guacamole for instant flavor with minimal work. - Try chopped fresh or pickled jalapeno peppers in your guacamole for a bit of spice.
- Mix in some chopped cilantro for a classic Mexican flavor.
- Season things easily with a tablespoon of store-bought taco seasoning. (Just omit the extra sea salt so things don't get too salty.)
