Recipe Notes
If the beef has a TON of extra fat bubbling up after it cooks (usually if not grass-fed or an 85% mix), strain out the grease and put back in the pan before adding water and seasoning. A little is totally fine.
You can also sub pre-made guac, but it’s not nearly as good as the fresh stuff.
