There is nothing quite as simple and delicious as a bowl of colorful guacamole.
I should have named this recipe "Floridian guacamole" instead of "Mexican" because last month I was in Florida, and that is where I made and ate this fabulous guacamole.

Florida Vacation With Siblings
Two of my husband's siblings and their families met in Florida for a family vacation. We all stayed in my brother-in-law's large home in Parkland, Florida. We had so much fun cooking together. One of the treats we made and shared was this big bowl of Mexican guacamole.
The avocados were nice and ripe, and the entire recipe only took about 5- 6 minutes to make.
This recipe would make a perfect gluten free and vegan party dip. Use celery sticks or gluten free Non GMO corn chips as dippers and enjoy!
What makes a guacamole recipe Mexican?
I purchased Haas avocadoes which come from Mexico, and the optional tequila really authenticates it as Mexican !!! Hola
Helpful Tips for buying and using avocados:
1. If you make the guacamole in advance, be sure to leave the pit in the dip until you serve it. The pit will help keep the avocado dip from turning brown.. Remove the large pit before serving!
2. An avocado is ripe when the outer skin turns brown and the avocado becomes somewhat soft to the touch. If you buy a hard green avocado, you can just leave it out on the counter to ripen up. It takes about 3-5 days.
3. If you need to use the avocado sooner, put it into a brown paper bag ( never a plastic bag) together with a banana or an apple to speed up the ripening process.
4. If you forget to use your avocado and it becomes too ripe to use, you can give yourself and avocado facial or hair treatment. Avocado contains vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids that are great for damaged hair.
