FAQ
How do I keep the sandwich crispy if I’m not eating it right away?
Wrap it in foil and keep it warm in the oven up to 15 minutes. For longer storage, refrigerate and reheat in a pan to restore crispiness.
Can I prepare the guacamole ahead of time?
Yes! Fresh guacamole can be made a few hours ahead and stored in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed on top to minimize browning.
