Answers:
Freezing Guacamole
You can freeze mashed avocados but it best not to freeze guacamole with other ingredients such as tomatoes or tomatillos. Those ingredients tend to get mushy and watery when thawed. So if you want to have an "emergency supply" of avocados on hand for guacamole then start by simply freeze fresh, ripe avocados.
To freeze, mash the avocados with the back of a fork. You do need to add one teaspoon lime or lemon juice per avocado. Mix well. Place the avocado in a freezer container just large enough to fill the container but don't under fill. Too much airspace allows the avocados to oxidize and brown.
You can also use a freeze-weight zip lock bag. Fill the bag with the mashed avocado. Leave the bag unzipped and fold it over and press out the air from the bag then zip closed and freeze.
Thaw frozen avocados in the refrigerator or place the container in a bowl of cool water to accelerate thawing.
