Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Storage Suggestions: Store any leftover ingredients separately to maintain freshness, especially the avocado which can brown quickly.
Make-Ahead: Prep your ingredients ahead of time and store them in the fridge. This will save you precious minutes during the week.
Slicing Tricks: For easy slicing of avocado, cut it in half and make a series of cuts to create cubes before scooping it out with a spoon.
Lettuce Selection: Opt for sturdy lettuce varieties like Romaine or Butter lettuce; they hold up better than softer types and provide a great crunch.
