Recipe Tips and Tricks

Choose avocados that yield to gentle pressure—ripe but not mushy.
Mash with a fork—leave big chunks for texture.
Lime juice is non-negotiable—brightens and prevents browning.
Add tomato last and gently—keeps guac from getting watery.
Press plastic wrap directly on surface—zero air = zero browning.
Make 1–2 hours ahead—flavors get even better.
Double the recipe—it always disappears.
