Notes
Tip: To keep guacamole fresh, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing it in an airtight container.
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding diced jalapeños to your guacamole mix. If you prefer a milder option, you can swap mango for diced peaches or omit the spicy element entirely.
These nacho cups are best served fresh, but you can prepare the guacamole a few hours ahead. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container to prevent browning. If you have leftovers, keep them refrigerated for up to two days, though the tortilla cups may lose their crispiness.
