Notes

Prep Ahead Tips

  • You can assemble the jars up to 1 day in advance and store them covered in the fridge.
  • For best results, add lettuce, tomatoes, and guacamole just before serving to keep them fresh and crisp.
  • If you’re making these for a party or picnic, prep all your ingredients ahead of time so layering is quick and easy.

Storing Tips

  • Most mason jars are not freezer-friendly. Also the fresh ingredients won’t hold up well to freezing and thawing.
  • Store assembled jars in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days.
  • Keep the jars tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent moisture from softening the layers.
  • If storing with guacamole or lettuce, note that those layers are best enjoyed within the first day.
