When I started making egg and avocado wraps, I used 1/2 of the avocado to make 1 serving of guacamole and put the other half of avocado in the refrigerator. I had to use it the next day because it does not keep well.
By experimenting, I have learned that I can freeze the guacamole for my breakfast wraps. I am really enjoying this. With it frozen in serving sizes, I can have my wrap ready in 5 minutes, plus there is very little to clean up afterwards.
This is the way I froze avocado. To make the guacamole for 6 breakfast wraps, I purchased 3 avocados and used the recipe listed below:
Using butter containers for molds, I divided the mixture into 6 serving sizes and froze it in the containers. It pops out like an ice cube.
After frozen, I put each serving in a sandwich bag, taped it shut, then put all of them in a zip lock freezer bag and back into the freezer.
I don't know how long I can keep this in the freezer. However, after 10 days, I have seen no change in the color or the taste. I'm thinking that the lemon helps in preserving the color.
It takes only 30 seconds to thaw out the guacamole in the microwave and I can have my breakfast wrap ready in just the little time it takes to fry a couple eggs.

Let me know if you are still having trouble getting to it.
I also learned recently that I can freeze avocado in one-serving pieces--what a game-changer! I use small plastic cups but also seal in the avocado by pressing plastic wrap down over the mashed avocado to make sure no air gets to it. That's important.
avocado freezes well. we used to have relatives send them from California in 50 lb or so and work them up with a bit of lime juice or tajin and freeze the whole batch in individual packets. I knew this because in the 70's i worked in a Mexican restaurant where the guac came frozen in tubes like sausage. the ingredient list was "pureed avocado"
