Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For the richest flavor, use a fully ripe avocado that yields to gentle pressure. The Haas variety, characterized by its oval shape and pebbly skin changing from green to black as it ripens, is higher in fat than other varieties, making it rich, buttery and more flavorful.
