Prep time

No need for mayo or sour cream here: just fresh, flavourful ingredients the way nature intended. Use it as a dip for your whole grain tortilla chips, as a spread in fajitas or burritos or swap it in for your usual sandwich and burger condiments. Trust me, once you try this pear-fect guac, you'll never go back!
