Mash the avocados in a bowl with a fork, leaving them a little chunky for texture. Then, gently fold in the chopped tomatillos, mango, onion, serrano chile, cilantro, and mint. Squeeze in some lemon juice and give everything a gentle mix to combine. Taste and add salt as needed. To keep the guacamole from turning brown, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface. Pop it in the fridge and let it chill for at least an hour before serving.
