Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why use room temperature ingredients?
Room temperature cheese melts more evenly, and room temperature guacamole spreads better without tearing the bread.
→ Can I use different bread?
Yes, any sturdy bread works well. Sourdough provides great flavor and holds up to grilling.
→ How do I keep the sandwich from getting soggy?
Place cheese next to the bread on both sides to create a barrier for the guacamole. This helps prevent sogginess.
→ Can I make this ahead?
Best served immediately while hot and crispy. The guacamole can brown if made too far ahead.
→ Why add tortilla chips?
They add a satisfying crunch and pay tribute to classic chips and guacamole. You can skip them if preferred.
