"A terrific guacamole recipe. Instead of using a potato masher, we made the guacamole using a traditional molcajete. Other than that, we followed the exact instructions and the results were wonderful! (Just remember, guacamole is all about the avocado...for great guacamole, you must use really good, in season, ripe avocados.) Next time, I will probably double the garlic, add some chopped fresh cilantro, and replace the cayenne with either a roasted and minced jalapeño or serrano chile." - sgrishka
