FAQ:

1. Can I make these ahead of time?
   • Yes! Prepare the filling and store it separately. Assemble just before serving to keep the avocado fresh.
2. What can I substitute for lime juice?
   • Lemon juice works just as well and adds a bright flavor.
3. How do I prevent the avocado from browning?
   • The lime juice helps, but you can also press plastic wrap directly onto the filling surface to reduce air exposure.
