    Here in Southern California, Guacamole is a staple of our local cuisine. When I say local cuisine, I mean Mexican cuisine. And this copycat guacamole recipe from Chipotle is a great example of that.

    The cost of Avocados is consistently increasing, now a little over $2 each. I remember when you could get a Haas Avocado for under $1 a piece. This is why I feel fortunate to have access to several avocado trees. When in season, it's not uncommon for me to get a basket full per week.

    Some of the challenges when using avocados is waiting for them to ripen. Once ripe, an avocado should be used within 3 days or so. Once the avocado is cut, you have about 3 to 4 days to eat it before it goes bad. It will also turn brown pretty quickly if you don't add any acid like lemon or lime juice.

    🥑 How to Pick the Perfect Avocado

    Choosing the wrong avocado will ruin your dish. Especially when the avocado is the main ingredient like in Guacamole. Basically, you want a perfectly ripe Avocado. This is a great article on how to select the perfect avocado.

    🌶 How to Handle Hot Peppers

    The capsaicin in hot peppers is what makes peppers hot. If you handle hot peppers gloveless, it’s a guarantee that you’re in for a nasty case of chili burn, both on your fingers and anywhere you rub. Like your face. Ouch!

    Even if you wear disposable gloves, be careful about what you touch. The gloves are going to protect your fingers, but touching any part of your body with the gloves after you’ve handled hot peppers can lead to severe chili burn. Resist the temptation to rub your eyes. Wait until you’ve removed your gloves and washed your hands thoroughly with soap.
