Can I make this guacamole ahead of time?

Yes, but it is best served soon after mixing. If you need to make it ahead, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate; the lemon juice helps slow browning, but the color is still best the day it is made.

How can I keep the guacamole from turning brown?

Use enough citrus juice, press wrap directly onto the surface, and store it cold. If the top layer darkens slightly, you can often stir it back in before serving.

Can I adjust the heat level?

Absolutely. Use more or less jalapeño and Tabasco to taste. For a milder version, reduce or omit the jalapeño and add the hot sauce gradually.

What can I serve with this guacamole?

Tortilla chips are the classic choice, but it also works as a topping for tacos, burritos, nachos, grilled chicken, or eggs.

Can I substitute the lemon wedge with lime juice?

Yes. Lime juice is the more traditional choice for guacamole and will work very well here in place of the lemon juice.

How chunky should the avocado be?

Leave a few lumps, as the recipe directs. That gives the guacamole a more rustic, textured finish rather than a smooth puree.

Sounds like a robust guacamole recipe. However, the list of ingredients needs a bit of a tweak so they show up independently on the page, ie: “1/2 tsp minced jalapeno”, not “1/2 tsp jalapeno pepper” (I figured it out pretty quickly after thinking maybe Spicehouse had a new item in their spice showcase!). In any event, a good time for me to include Pilsen Latino seasoning in my next purchase.
