Sure, guacamole is creamy on its own — but when you add sour cream, you amp up the silkiness of the dip even more. You don't need much, as even a few tablespoons of the stuff will do. Not only does it enhance your guacamole's texture, but it will add a little tang that doesn't veer on overwhelming.
But that's not the only way sour cream is an asset here. Instead of mixing it in with the other ingredients, try spreading it over the top of your guacamole after placing it in a bowl. Then, cover the whole thing with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap sticks to the layer of sour cream.
What does this accomplish? When the avocados in guacamole turn brown, it's because they contain an enzyme that reacts with oxygen in the air. So preventing this oxidation from happening is as simple as blocking your guacamole from the air, which the sour cream and plastic wrap layers do. This is why some people recommend storing your avocado halves in the fridge face-down — cutting contact with the air keeps the meat green longer.
Using sour cream is a tasty way to create a thick barrier. And for an added bonus, when you're ready to eat, you can mix it into the rest of the bowl.
