  3. Continue mashing and stirring everything until well-mixed.

  4. Taste-test and add salt or lime juice if needed.

Additional Steps for Mango Guacamole

Additional Steps for Chipotle Guacamole
  1. Stir 1 tablespoon of adobo sauce into the guacamole. Taste test and add more sauce if desired.

Additional Steps for Poblano Corn Guacamole
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.

  2. Place the corn and poblano pepper onto a baking sheet or into an oven-safe skillet. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat.

  3. Roast the corn and poblano mixture until tender and browned, about 15 minutes.
