Tips:
- Ensure the avocados are ripe for the best creamy texture.
- You can add more lime juice if you prefer a tangier flavor.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper to suit your spice tolerance.
- For additional protein, consider adding grilled chicken or shrimp.
- You can substitute fresh coriander leaves with dried coriander if necessary, although fresh will provide a more vibrant flavor.
