On the Border Guacamole

By kathya5084

This 160-unit casual Mexican chain makes a nice tableside guacamole that you can easily duplicate for your amigos. This is the basic formula, so now you can freely adjust it to suit the tastes of your crew. It's also easy to double or more this recipe for a bigger fiesta, if that's the plan. Just be sure to toss (gently!) the avocados into the fridge for an hour or two before you open them up. This guac is much better when slightly chilled
