Tips:

• Adding chipotle is nice for a smokey flavor, especially if you choose to add in beans. The beans will also enhance a more satiating effect making this a great potluck item leaving everyone satisfied!
  
• Butter may sound weird, but it actually taste great! Cut about a tbsp amount of butter and throw it in your guacamole. We use Kerigold unsalted butter if we do this.
  
• If you have access to a local, organic and raw source of goat cheese this makes a nice addition. However, due to the scarcity of this circumstance you may choose to add pasteurized cheese if you are dairy-friendly as you’d like.
  
• Nutritional yeast makes a great alternative for that zesty, cheesy flavor everyone can enjoy!
