Tips & Notes
- Caramelize onions over medium-low heat for 30–45 minutes for a sweet depth; rush at high heat and they'll be bitter.
- Mash avocado immediately after cutting to slow browning; a squeeze of lemon or lime juice helps further.
- Store in an airtight container to keep snacks crispy; add a food-safe silica gel packet to absorb moisture.
