Notes

Avocados - Choose ripe avocados. They should be firm but yield slightly when you press on the skin. If the avocados are too ripe you'll wind up with mushy brown flesh. If they aren't ripe enough, they'll be too firm to mash.

Jalapeno - Be sure to de-seed each jalapeno or your guacamole might be too spicy. The seeds of a jalapeno pack a lot of punch!

Onion - Red onion works best for its unique flavor.
