Avacado + air = YUCK. To keep your guac from browning if you are making it in advance... When you make it, don't add the lime. Instead mix it like you normally would, put it in your storage container and drop it on the counter to try and get out any air pockets. Smooth the top will with the back of a spoon. Add the lime juice on top, then take some plastic wrap and starting in the middle, press it gently on the top easing out any air as you work it toward the edges of the container. Press the wrap on the edges of the container then put your top on it and refrigerate. It will be beautiful and green when you take it out, just stir in the lime juice and serve. <br /> <br />This is a really good recipe. The only thing I do different is opt for jalapeno instead of the chili paste. I also add a pinch of cumin and chili powder. I think it's also a little heavy on the lime. 1 is plenty.
