Recipe #80: Mango Pomegranate Guacamole

I found this recipe using the Epicurious iPhone app while I was at the produce market a few weeks ago. I couldn't add pomegranate, because it wasn't in season. I will definitely try it again. It'd like to see how it tastes with the pomegranate, even though it was good without it. We just ate it with plain tortilla chips.
