Notes

  • Choose avocados that yield slightly when gently pressed for perfect ripeness
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days
  • To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole
  • For extra heat, leave some jalapeño seeds in or add a dash of cayenne pepper
