Spicy Guacamole Recipe
Some of us like our food a little more on the spicy side than others do; even when it comes to guacamole. Normally a relatively mild avocado based dip, guacamole can be and is often made spicy and if you like yours hot, then this spicy guacamole recipe is definitely for you.
Offering plenty of kick from spicy Serrano chilies, this is a guacamole which is certain to satisfy the heat addicts in your household. Other than the higher level of chili peppers, it's a more or less traditional guacamole recipe, with the usual suspects present: avocado, tomato, cilantro, onion and lime.
While the ingredients list looks pretty standard, heat has a way of bringing a different kind of flavor profile out of your guacamole. Contrasted with the heat of the peppers, the avocado seems creamier, the citrus more vibrant and the cilantro sharper. Even if you're not the biggest fan of hot peppers, you may want to try this recipe (you can always adjust the amount of Serrano peppers to make sure the guacamole won't be a little too much for your taste).
Hot and Spicy Guacamole
Ingredients -
4 avocados, peeled and seeded
1 tomato (or 2 roma tomatoes), diced
½ cup chopped white onion
4 Serrano peppers, minced
¼ cup chopped cilantro
Juice of 2 limes (or more to taste)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Preparation:
Nothing could be easier than preparing this spicy guacamole recipe. Just chop the onion, tomato, cilantro and Serrano peppers (remember to wash your hands after handling these hot peppers) and set aside. Peel the avocados and remove their large seeds. Mash the avocado in a bowl with a potato masher or in a food processor, if desired.
Mix the chopped onion, tomato, Serrano peppers and cilantro to the mashed avocado and add lime juice, salt and pepper to taste. Serve at once with tortilla chips or your favorite Mexican meal or refrigerate, covered tightly, for use within the next 1-2 days.
