Ingredients

Guacamole Ingredients

  • 3 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ghost Pepper Puree (adjust to your heat level)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Avocados: In a mixing bowl, mash the avocados using a fork or a potato masher until you reach your desired consistency, whether smooth or chunky.
  2. Add Flavor: Mix in the finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, and freshly squeezed lime juice into the mashed avocados to incorporate fresh, tangy flavors.
  3. Spice It Up: Carefully add the ghost pepper puree to the mixture. Since ghost peppers are extremely spicy, start with the recommended amount and adjust according to your heat preference.
  4. Add Freshness: Stir in the diced tomato and chopped cilantro to add texture and a burst of freshness to the guacamole.
  5. Season: Season the guacamole with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors uniformly.
  6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning and spice level as needed to suit your palate.
  7. Serve: Serve the guacamole immediately with tortilla chips for the best flavor and freshness. Alternatively, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate until ready to serve to prevent browning.

Notes

  • Ghost pepper is extremely hot; add slowly and taste as you go to avoid overpowering heat.
  • To keep the guacamole from browning, press plastic wrap onto the surface and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
  • Adjust lime juice and salt according to your taste preference.
  • This guacamole pairs well with tortilla chips, veggies, or as a topping for tacos and grilled meats.
  • For a milder version, reduce or omit the ghost pepper puree.
