Absolutey NO to cream cheese or mayonnaise. That's not guacamole!
The rest is personal taste. Hubby likes to add fresh salsa, which
people here like to call "pico de gallo" - but I prefer it with no
tomato. If I wanted to adulterate guacamole with anything, I'd make
an avocado-tomatillo salsa. That stuff is really good!
