Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
- Habanero: Substitute with jalapeño for a milder heat or skip altogether.
- Tajín: Use a mix of chili powder, salt, and lime zest if Tajín isn’t available.
- Olive oil: Avocado oil or grapeseed oil are good alternatives.
- Pineapple or Mango: Canned (drained) or thawed frozen fruit can be used in a pinch.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. The avocado may brown slightly but will still be safe to eat.
