Notes
- Choosing Avocados - Select ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Cooking Corn Kernels - If using fresh corn, cook the kernels until tender, then allow them to cool before adding to the guacamole. You can also use canned or frozen corn kernels that have been thawed and drained.
- Adjusting Spice Level - Control the heat of the guacamole by adjusting the amount of jalapeno pepper used. Remove the seeds and ribs for a milder flavor, or leave them intact for extra heat.
