Chef's Tips
- Ripe Avocados: Use avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the best texture.
- Prevent Browning: Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to minimize air exposure and browning.
- Custom Heat: Adjust the amount of jalapeño or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for more spice.
- Chunky vs. Smooth: Mash less for a chunkier texture or more for a smoother consistency.
- Serving Suggestion: Garnish with extra cilantro or a lime wedge for a fresh presentation.
