FAQ

  • Can I make these ahead of time?

    Yes, you can make them a few hours in advance. However, the avocado may brown slightly, so it's best to add a little extra lime juice to the mixture and cover them tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the filling.
  • Can I use a different type of mustard?

    Yes, feel free to experiment with different mustards like stone-ground or spicy brown mustard for a different flavor profile.
