Expert Tips and Tricks
-
- This tastes best when it has time for the flavors to marinate.
- Wait to add the avocados until you're ready to serve.
- This does get really soupy, but the flavor lies in the liquid, so don't get rid of it.
- If you want this to be a spicy dip, you can add some jalapeno or extra hot sauce.
