Notes
Finding a delicious hot sauce can make or break your dish. Try to get one with more flavor and tastes like the pepper rather than an acidic or vinegary one.
Remember to season the avocado after mashing it with a fork. If it is looking a little overripe, add a little bit of lime juice to live it up and prevent it from browning.
A sauce can go great with this as long as it doesn’t overpower the avocado. Mayo-based sauces are great with this or even a spread like a marmalade, almond butter, and quince can also work as well.
