💡 Chef tips
- To store leftover guacamole and prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to eliminate air pockets and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- If you prefer a milder guacamole, completely remove the white ribs and seeds from the jalapeño before mincing.
- Always choose avocados that yield to gentle pressure without being overly mushy for the best creamy texture.
