They help support liver health, provide monounsaturated fats, have tons of potassium and many other nutrients. Plus, there’s another benefit for people with TMD. Avocados also have a creamy, smooth texture that’s easy on the jaw.

  • 1lime (juiced)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Tabasco sauce (optional)

  4. Add the lime juice, salt and pepper to taste. Add the tabasco sauce to your liking.
  5. In a separate small bowl add 2 tablespoons of the dip. Add 1 tbsp of sour cream and adjust your seasonings. Taste it to determine if you prefer your guacamole with or without sour cream.
  6. If using sour cream add 4 tablespoons or more to the avocado mixture and adjust your seasonings again. If not, put the guacamole in the fridge to chill.
  7. Serve chilled with chips or add a little guacamole to your favorite Mexican dish.
