Notes

Always choose ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture. When selecting tomatoes, opt for firm yet juicy ones; heirloom varieties add sweetness and color. For mayo, use sparingly to avoid overpowering the flavors. If you would like to enhance the sandwich's taste, consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the avocado mash for a spicy kick.
