Pro Tips

1. Use Ripe Avocados – They should give slightly when pressed—too firm and the guac won’t be creamy.
2. Chill Before Serving – Let the guac sit in the fridge for 20 minutes to let flavors meld.
3. Save the Pit – Drop one or two pits into the bowl if you’re storing leftovers; it helps slow browning.

Q: How spicy is it?
