FAQs
Can I use a food processor to make guacamole?
While a food processor can help blend the ingredients faster, it’s best to use a fork or masher for a chunkier, more traditional texture.
How do I prevent guacamole from turning brown?
To keep guacamole from browning, cover it with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the guacamole, or store it with the pit of the avocado in the container.
Can I make guacamole ahead of time?
Guacamole is best when freshly made, but if you need to prepare it ahead of time, add an extra squeeze of lime juice and store it tightly covered in the fridge. If possible, cover the surface with plastic wrap to minimize exposure to air.
Can I make guacamole spicier?
Yes, add extra jalapeños, or even some hot sauce or chili flakes, depending on your spice tolerance.
