Notes
For a unique twist: Add diced red onion or a sprinkle of feta cheese on top for extra flavor.
For the best flavor, use ripe avocados and fresh mangoes. If you’re looking for a milder taste, you can adjust the amount of jalapeño or substitute it with a milder pepper. Additionally, these bites can be prepped ahead of time; just assemble the guacamole and keep it covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
Leftover guacamole can be stored in an airtight container, but to prevent browning, make sure to press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before sealing. They are best enjoyed fresh, but you can reheat the totopos in the oven for a few minutes to re-crisp them before serving.
