Classic Guacamole

Avocados brown quickly once mashed. To help prevent the guacamole from turning brown, smooth surface of guacamole, then press plastic wrap directly onto surface of guacamole to seal out the air. Refrigerate up to 1 hour. If preparing more than 1 hour before serving, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over smoothed surface of guacamole before covering it with the plastic wrap. Stir oil into guacamole before serving.

Substitute a container of store-bought guacamole for the mashed avocados. Stir in all remaining ingredients except Thin Crisps, then continue as directed.

Look for avocados that are either slightly soft or firm. Small light-brown markings on the peels are normal and won't affect the quality of the fruit inside. If mashing the avocados for recipe use, look for softer avocados. If needing sliced avocados, or if not using immediately, select firmer pieces of fruit. Avocados will continue to ripen after being picked. To ripen, place in paper bag and let stand at room temperature until desired softness. Ripe avocados can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.
