  1. I've made very similar guacamoles before, and learned an awesome trick from a guy in Mexico while we were vacationing there one year:

    Spices make all the difference! When making guacamole, add a dash of cumin to taste. I'd also add garlic powder, but uh, yeah. You obviously have that taken care of. ;)

    Delicious! I love making guacamole. :D I actually have a similar recipe for guacamole if you're interested!
