Tip

Keep Guacamole Fresh

I like to make guacamole ahead of time for my favorite chicken quesadillas. I’ve found that if the avocado pit is added to the guacamole and the dish is covered, the guacamole retains its pretty, green color. —Pam Ubl, Coon Rapids, Minnesota

These are delicious! I do recommend sauteing the onions a bit first though.

Not the best recipe ever, but definitely a nice change from your everyday average burger
