Helpful Tips
- Mix Up the Texture – Mash it more for a smooth consistency, or leave it chunky for a heartier dip.
- Add More Flavor – A small amount of cumin or a minced garlic clove can deepen the flavor without overpowering the freshness. Try adding a bit more, if you feel it’s not flavorful enough.
- Serve with the Right Chips – Thick, sturdy tortilla chips hold up best to creamy guacamole—avoid thin chips that break easily.
