[quote=Anonymous][quote] Why You Should Leave the Lime Out of Your Guacamole
Lime is an integral part of a great guacamole—or so we thought. Turns out, American cooks put the lime in. And now it's time to take it out.

Twenty years ago, I asked a server at Mexico City’s legendary El Bajío if there was lime in their exceptionally rich, deep guacamole. She tsk-tsked me with her finger. “No, no," she said. "Lime masks the avocado.”

In retrospect, it seems so obvious. But at the time, I, like most Americans, ceremoniously squeezed fresh lime juice into my guacamole, a finishing touch that I believed accentuated or balanced the flavors. It wasn't until I started spending time in Mexico that I found guacs that, in whatever form they took—drizzled over empanadas, slathered as a base for ceviche tostadas, served chunky-style piled alongside thin grilled steaks—tasted like avocado concentrate, with only a wisp of citrus acidity, if any.
