Spicy Guacamole Recipe
This spicy guacamole uses fresh jalapeños for a satisfying kick and has a perfectly chunky texture.
Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 ripe avocados
- 1 white onion diced
- 1 tomato diced
- 2 jalapeño peppers diced, pith removed
- 2 limes juiced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsp fresh cilantro leaves chopped
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp sea salt more to taste
Instructions
- Mix chopped onion with lime juice, allowing to sit at least 5 minutes. This step is optional, but helps reduce the sharp bite of the onion.
- Combine all ingredients (except avocado) in a large bowl, mixing well.
- Scoop the avocado and add to the bowl. Using a potato masher or fork, mash until the guacamole has your preferred consistency (we like it fairly chunky).
- Serve immediately or store for up to 3 days in the fridge.

Notes
- For a less spicy guacamole, omit the cayenne pepper and use less jalapeño pepper.
- To store the guac, flatten the surface and add a thin layer of water to prevent oxidation (which causes it to turn brown). If it does turn a bit brown, just give it a stir before serving.
