Ingredients
  • 2 medium Ripe Avocados
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
  • 1/2 Serrano Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion
  • 2 tablespoons Cilantro
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Prepare the Base

Cut avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork until desired consistency is reached. Leaving some chunks is perfectly fine.

Add the Heat

Mince the Serrano pepper carefully, removing seeds for less heat. Add it to the mashed avocado along with diced red onion and chopped cilantro.

Spice It Up

Incorporate lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt into the mixture. Stir well to ensure even distribution of flavors.

Taste and Adjust

Sample the guacamole and adjust the seasoning as desired. Add more Serrano pepper for extra heat, lime juice for tanginess, or salt for overall flavor.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips, crudités, or as an accompaniment to grilled meats. For later use, cover the guacamole with plastic wrap, pressing it onto the surface, and refrigerate to prevent browning.
