Chef's notes
  • Ripe avocados are vital to a tasty guacamole. They must be soft so they will mash well.
  • Avocados ripen quickly when placed near bananas or left in a paper bag. They ripen (or spoil) slowly when placed in the fridge.
  • If storing guacamole for later use, prevent it from browning by covering it with plastic wrap. Place the plastic wrap flush against the guacamole so no air can get in and cause it to oxidize.
  • Remove the seeds and veins from the jalapeño peppers to make the final dish less spicy.
