Notes
- Selecting Avocados: Use ripe avocados that yield slightly when pressed for the creamiest guacamole.
- Adjust Spice: For a milder guacamole, use half a jalapeño or skip it altogether.
- Prevent Browning: To store, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to reduce air exposure. Consume within 1–2 days.
- Customizations: Add diced tomatoes, roasted garlic, or a sprinkle of cumin for a unique twist.
