Tips and Tricks to keep the Mexican Chunky Guacamole fresh
There are a few ways to keep Guacamole looking its best if it needs to be stored. Serving fresh is best, but if you need to make it in advance, here are a few tricks you can use.
-
Place the Guacamoke in an airtight container. Squeeze a bit of lemon or lime juice over the top of the Guacamole. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the top, lightly push down to where it is touching the Guacamole, and place an airtight lid over it—put it in the refrigerator. This may prevent browning, for the most part, about 24-48 hours.
-
Place the Mexican Chunky Guacamole in an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid. Pack the Guacamole tightly in the container, pressing out any air with the back of a spoon. Slowly add some lukewarm water over the top of the Guacamole. Be sure to cover it with a tight-fitting lid. When ready to serve, remove the lid and gently pour the water out. Stir up the Guacamole before serving. It prevents growing for about 24 hours.
