Spicy Guacamole

Spicy Guacamole

This version of guacamole keeps the usual avocado base but adds peas for extra freshness and a slightly sweeter finish. Lime, coriander, and green Tabasco keep it sharp and punchy without turning it into a smooth puree.

What Makes It Work

The peas soften the richness of the avocado and help the dip stay bright rather than heavy. Espelette pepper gives a warmer, rounder heat than standard chilli powder, while the lime keeps the mixture lively enough for rich mains, tacos, or simple tortilla chips.

Texture And Serving Notes

Mash the avocado and peas with a fork rather than blending them. A slightly coarse texture feels better alongside crisp tacos or grilled meat, and it also makes the coriander and lime zest more noticeable in each bite.

Serve it right after mixing if you want the cleanest green colour. If you need to hold it for a short time, press a piece of wrap directly onto the surface and keep it chilled.

Useful Variations

• For more heat, add extra green Tabasco or a pinch of chilli flakes.
• For a looser dip, mash in a little more lime juice.
• For extra texture, finish with toasted seeds or finely chopped spring onion.

How To Serve It

Use this guacamole anywhere you want something cool, citrusy, and a little spicy. It works especially well with tacos, grilled chicken, rice bowls, or a snack board built around crisp vegetables and chips.
