Cooking Tip
Jalapeno Peppers
Jalapenos are hot! Take care in handling them. Wash hands immediately after handling and dicing, and avoid contact with eyes or face. It's not a bad idea to wear gloves to protect your hands, if you have them.
Cooking Tip
White Vinegar
Replaces the need for lemon or lime in the dish and will help the avocados from discoloring after being peeled and mashed.
