Notes

 
  1. Selecting the perfect avocado at the store can be a challenge. The most reliable method is to buy firm ones and let them ripen at room temperature for a few days. Check them daily, and once they reach your desired softness, move them to the refrigerator to stay fresh.
  2. This versatile recipe is the perfect addition to chips and dip, avocado toast, tacos, or as a side dish for fajitas—it's simply delicious.
