"she recommended sandwiching the guacamole between two cool ingredients, like lettuce and cheese, to prevent it from warming too much. On the other hand, if you were to dollop it right onto warm rice or a protein, you may have to worry about it sloshing around and falling out of your burrito. For optimal distribution, you should also follow her recommendation and spread it down the length of the tortilla, rather than just plopping a dollop in the center."
"Our recipe for crave-worthy guacamole is perfect for burritos because it can be made extra chunky or smooth, depending on your preference (and what else is in your burrito). If you like to get flavorful bites of onion, garlic, and tomato, leave your add-ins chunky and only mash your avocados enough so that the mixture is easily spread. You can use an offset or silicone spatula to distribute that guac around, per Alpers' recommendation, for a little bit in every bite."
Guacamole adds creamy fat and a cooling contrast to spicy burrito fillings. Sandwich guacamole between cool ingredients such as lettuce and cheese to prevent warming and sloshing when layered near hot rice or proteins. Spread guacamole lengthwise along the tortilla instead of placing a single central dollop to achieve even distribution. Adjust guacamole texture to suit the burrito—extra chunky for flavorful add-in bites or smooth for easy spreading. Mash avocados only enough for spreadability and use an offset or silicone spatula to distribute. Mix with sour cream or cottage cheese to increase spreadability and add creaminess or protein.
