Chef's Tips
- Ripe Avocados: Use avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the best texture.
- Prevent Browning: Adding lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps keep the guacamole green.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of jalapeño to control the heat level.
- Chilling: Let the guacamole sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Storage: If storing leftovers, press plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole to minimize air exposure.
