Living in Texas for four years, I ate my fair share of Mexican food. Incredible Tex Mex and Mexican cuisine could be found everywhere (which is something I dearly miss in DC). I am slowly learning to recreate some of my favorite Mex dishes in the District and this guacamole makes the rotation quite often. I use white onion most of the time since that is what I almost always have on hand. You can also use red onion which lends a sharper onion flavor. Another trick I use is lemon juice! I find that it gives a subtle, bright flavor but also is the best "trick" I have found to keep guacamole fresh for a longer period of time. If you like the flavor of lime juice, sub a bit of lime for the lemon. This is also a great base to use if you want to jazz up your guacamole. Serve with tortilla chips or fresh corn tortillas, on top of a salad, or alongside your favorite Mexican dish.
