Calories 174kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Ripe avocado medium-large size
- ⅓ cup Red onion finely diced
- ½ cup Tomato pulp and seed removed and finely chopped
- 2 Serrano chilies finely chopped
- ¼ cup Cilantro or coriander leaves finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- Salt to taste
- ¼ teaspoon Black pepper powder
- ½ teaspoon Cumin powder
Instructions
- Cut each avocado in half and carefully remove the pit.
- Using a pairing knife, dice the avocado while it is still in the peel. Scoop out everything using a spoon into a bowl. Repeat the same with the remaining avocados.
- Using a fork start mashing the avocados. If making a bigger batch then use a potato masher. Stop mashing when it is still a little chunky (not fully mashed).
- Add finely chopped onion, tomato, cilantro, serrano peppers along with salt, pepper and ground cumin. Add freshly squeezed lime juice.
- Mix everything. Taste (if serving as a dip, taste with a chip that you’re serving. As tortilla chips can be salty) and don’t be shy on the salt. Add an extra pinch, you’ll be amazed how the flavors come together.

Notes
- Make spicy guacamole just before serving: Avocado starts oxidizing (starts discoloring) as soon as you cut it just like apple, banana, potato. This browning doesn’t change the flavor but sure doesn’t look appetizing. So always keep other ingredients chopped and ready to mix. And at the time of serving, cut open the avocados, mash, add prepared ingredients, mix and serve.
- Instead of serrano peppers, you can use any other spicy chili variety as per your liking flavor and hotness level. For example, Indian chilies, Jalapenos, Thai chilies, Habanero peppers, Fresno chilies, etc.
- To keep the spicy guacamole texture thick and chunky, avoid using a watery, pulpy center part of tomatoes. Discard the seeds and juice from the center of the tomatoes and finely chop the firm part only.
