# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The dual layer approach keeps chips extra crispy while delivering that perfect two texture bite
  • Everything gets prepped in under 15 minutes leaving you more time for actually watching the game
02 -
  • Avocado oxidation is real but the lime juice and salsa layer on top buys you about an hour before it starts turning brown
  • The salsa should have some excess liquid but drain off the really watery portion before layering or your guac becomes soup
03 -
  • Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto any leftover guacamole surface before refrigerating
  • The best avocados for this are ones that feel slightly soft but not mushy when gently squeezed
