Instructions

Mash and Mix Guacamole

Start by scooping the avocados into a medium bowl and adding the lemon juice. Mash everything together until it’s almost as smooth as you like. Next, mix in the chopped tomatoes, scallions, jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro. Sprinkle in the salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne for some extra kick. Give it a good stir, then taste and adjust the seasoning until it’s just right for you.
