Begin to make recipes with guacamole by finding all the right ingredients. Fresh avocados are the first place to start, as they are the key ingredients. Avocados should be firm and dark and when picking them out at the grocery store or market, buyers should press the climacteric fruit (meaning a fruit that ripens on the tree) with gentle force. If the avocado is too hard it will taste bitter. Too soft and it will not have a fresh taste. When choosing the right avocado for recipes using guacamole it must first feel right in order to taste right.

Whichever recipes you make, remember that refrigeration is key before serving, unless you are serving it immediately after making it. Leftovers should also be sealed and stored in the fridge, but note that recipes with guacamole usually last but 24-48 hours before browning. A couple of squirts of lemon or lime juice will preserve the food and prevent browning.
