🥣 How to Make It
Making guacamole is one of those satisfying, one-bowl recipes that come together in minutes:
- 🥄 Scoop and mash: Halve your avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- 🌶️ Add flavor: Mix in serrano peppers, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.

🌮 Serving Ideas
- Spoon over tacos or fajitas for extra creaminess.
- Serve as a dip with corn chips, pita, or veggie sticks.
- Use as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or burgers for a vibrant, healthy twist.
💡 Tips for the Best Guacamole
- Use ripe avocados — they should yield slightly to pressure but not feel mushy.
- For extra flavor, stir in a dash of cumin or diced tomatoes.
- To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole before chilling.
