Notes
If you don't have garlic salt on hand, don't fret. Just mix 1/4 T of salt and 1/4 t of garlic powder and you have a perfect alternative!
Don't have jalapeños? Just replace 1 jalapeños with 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper!
Leave in some of the seeds to make a spicier guacamole.
To make a really smooth guacamole, add in all of the avocado and chop until you don't see any more chunks.
