Ingredients
1 ripe avocado (skin on)
1-2 Serrano peppers (depending on desired spice)
Juice of 1 lime
1/8 t kosher salt
Small handful cilantro, finely chopped
Preparations
Mash avocados in a bowl with ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, red peppers flakes, or diced fresh peppers in adobo sauce or sriracha sauce if desired. Mix in diced tomato and set aside for 5-10 minutes while preparing other ingredients. Add cilantro and lime juice to taste. Sprinkle with salt before serving or mixing in chopped onions and tomatoes. If desired add sliced black olives to the bottom of the bowl for dipping purposes.
Scoop guacamole onto fresh homemade tortilla chips, store-bought tortilla chips, or sliced vegetables of choice. Dip with corn chips, toast, or hot dogs for additional variety.
Don't throw out the pit of the avocados! They are perfect for adding to smoothies for that thick creamy texture. As an alternative, you can also use this same recipe for making dip into sour cream, cream cheese, or mayonnaise by substituting avocado with the desired dip
