Notes

Keep all components separate when storing leftovers to avoid soggy shells. Store guacamole with plastic wrap pressed against its surface to prevent browning. Reheat the bean mixture and chicken when you're ready to eat again for a fresh experience. Adjust ingredient quantities based on personal taste and dietary preferences. Enjoy experimenting with variations like shrimp or vegetarian options for a twist!
