Notes
- Pro Tips (Boost Flavor)
Use ripe avocados (soft but not mushy)
Don’t overmix—texture = everything
Eat immediately for the freshest taste
Ingredients
Avocados
Use ripe but firm avocados. They should yield slightly when pressed but not feel mushy.
Lime juice
Prevents browning and adds freshness. Fresh lime is strongly recommended.
Tortillas
Corn tortillas give a more authentic crunch, but flour wraps also work.
FAQ
Can I make guacamole ahead of time?
Yes, but it’s best eaten fresh. To slow browning, press cling film directly on the surface and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Why did my guacamole turn brown?
It’s natural oxidation. Lime juice helps slow it down but won’t fully prevent it.
Can I bake the tortilla chips instead of air frying?
Yes. Bake at 180°C for 8–12 minutes until golden and crisp.
Guacamole Storage
Best eaten fresh. If storing:
- refrigerate up to 1 day
- cover surface tightly to reduce air exposure
- add extra lime juice before storing
Tortilla Chips Storage
Store in an airtight container for up to 2–3 days.
