Notes
- Remove tomato seeds for better texture: Scooping out the seeds keeps the guacamole from becoming watery and helps the mixture stay thick and creamy.
- Tame the heat: Jalapenos can vary in spice, so remove the seeds and membranes for a milder guacamole or leave some in for extra heat.
- Serve it fresh for the best flavor: Guacamole tastes best right after it is made while the avocado is bright and creamy.
