Notes
Subs for homemade guacamole and salsa: can literally serve us in 20 minutes flat and if you don’t have an avocado at home or can’t be bothered homemaking salsa then don’t! Buy them and still have this!
Simplest guacamole: The easiest way to make guacamole is to slice the flesh in all different directions instead of mashing with a forking, this is much cleaner way of creaming the flesh, but also results in a much smoother guac that comes together quicker.
