Guacamole is absolutely my “go to” dish when I’m making appetizers for friends, especially during the summer. A great way to start any social gathering is with an ice cold beer or margarita, some spicy guacamole and tortilla chips. The one thing I will say about this recipe, though, is that the measurements should never be absolute. Adjust everything to your taste. I actually add a bit more cumin and chili powder when I’m making it, so play with the ingredients and make it your own.
