Ingredients:

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1-2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped

Instructions:

Helpful Tips:

  • If you prefer a milder guacamole, remove the seeds from the jalapeños or use only one.
  • To prevent the guacamole from browning, place plastic wrap directly on its surface, and keep it refrigerated if not serving immediately.

Storage Instructions:

Store any leftover guacamole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To help maintain its color, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing the container.

Variations:

  • Add diced mango or pineapple for a touch of sweetness and a tropical twist.
  • Mix in some crumbled feta cheese or cotija for added creaminess and flavor.
Pairings:

This Spicy Guacamole pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or fish tacos, and a refreshing side salad. For drinks, try serving it with a chilled glass of limeade or a sparkling grapefruit soda for a perfect balance to the spiciness.
