Serves 6
To turn this into guacamole langosta (with lobster), add 8 ounces finely chopped lobster claw meat. Temazcal chef Todd Hall explains that this guacamole, which doesn’t have either lemon or lime juice to prevent the avocados from browning, is the authentic way to do it. Make it an hour before serving, cover tightly, and let it sit so the flavors can mellow.
