Preparation

Step 1

Open the avocados, slicing them lengthwise, remove the pits and slide the meat out of the skins into a large serving bowl.

Using a fork, gently mash the avocados until chunky (you will be combining it with the remaining ingredients, so leave it a little chunkier than you like for now.) Add the remaining ingredients and combine. Season to taste, adding more lime juice and salt as needed.

If your guacamole isn't fiery enough, feel free to add a pinch of cayenne to kick up the heat.

Serve with the dipper of your choice (preferably a thick chip, as pictured) or use it to top tacos, burritos or queso.
