Notes

  • Choose a very ripe avocado for the best flavor and texture.
  • Store leftover avocado mixture in an airtight container with lime juice to prevent browning.
  • Experiment with different spices like cumin or garlic powder for added depth.
  • Add protein such as grilled chicken or chickpeas for a heartier meal.
