Enjoy all the nutrition, flavor, and smooth texture of ripe avocado in this traditional Mexican appetizer, guacamole. Simply mash the avocado with a fork and mix with fresh cilantro, a hot serrano chili, lime juice, and onion. Be sure to remove all the seeds before adding the chili to avoid overly spicy guacamole. All the ingredients blend perfectly, creating a balanced flavor and a healthy appetizer. Serve with fresh vegetables or tortilla chips for dipping. You can also spread the guacamole on bread or use it in burritos.
