# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Each scoop delivers the perfect bite with creamy, crunchy, and zesty elements that somehow make you feel like youre getting away with something delicious.
  • Its completely customizable to your heat preference so even your spice-averse friends will hover over this dish until its gone.
02 -
  • Layering in the wrong order can create a soggy mess, so always put wetter ingredients between drier ones to maintain structural integrity.
  • Bringing the dip to room temperature for 10 minutes before serving actually improves the flavor, something I learned after accidentally leaving it out too long once.
03 -
  • Use a clear glass dish to showcase those beautiful layers youve worked so hard to create, which actually makes people more excited to dig in.
  • If guacamole browning concerns you, mix a tiny bit of the sour cream into it or squeeze extra lime juice on top before adding the next layer.
