2 tbsp fresh lime juice
Tortilla chips, for serving

Variations:
​
For a creamier and stronger flavour, add 2 tbsp olive oil into the mix.

If you prefer to make the guacamole “lighter”, you can use 1/2 can of smoky baba ghanoush (canned eggplant) which is a perfect “diet” food with lots of fiber and low calories as well as having a similar texture to the guacamole.
If you prefer a lighter colour and flavour to your guac, use a small spoon of plain Greek yogurt or plain low fat yogurt to make the guacamole creamier and higher in protein.
