Pro Tips & Delicious Variations

Scared of picking out an avocado? It shouldn't be firm - a little give - and the base end should be soft when you press on it.
If not eating right away, make a mixture of ¼ t lemon juice to ¼ C water. Sprinkle on the avocado slices to keep them from browning.
Sandwiches really do taste different based on the order of the layers. Experiment!
For portability, dice some onion and mash with the avocado, mayonnaise and a few drops of lemon juice; put a layer of lettuce on the wrap to keep it from getting soggy. Add this mix as a spread, then build as usual!
