Ingredients:

2 avocados
400g
1 onion
110g
1 tomato
130g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork until you achieve your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
- Onion: Finely chop the onion and add it to the bowl with the mashed avocados.
- Tomato: Dice the tomato into small pieces and add it to the mixing bowl.
- Garlic: Mince the garlic cloves and mix them into the bowl.
- Chili Peppers: Finely chop the red hot chili peppers. Adjust the amount to your taste and add them to the mixture. Be careful handling the peppers, as they can irritate your skin and eyes.
2. Mixing:
- Gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
3. Seasoning:
- Add salt to taste. Optionally, you can add a squeeze of lime juice to enhance the flavor and prevent browning.
4. Serve:
- Transfer your guacamole to a serving bowl. Garnish with additional chopped tomato or cilantro if desired.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, on toast, or as a side with your favorite Mexican dish.
5. Storage:
- If not serving immediately, cover the guacamole with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to minimize air contact. Refrigerate and consume within a day for the best taste and freshness.

Tips:

- Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch but not mushy. This will ensure a creamy texture for your guacamole.

- Finely chop the onion, tomato, garlic, and chili peppers to ensure even distribution of flavors throughout the guacamole.

- For a less spicy guacamole, you can remove the seeds from the chili peppers or use fewer peppers.

- To prevent the guacamole from turning brown, store it in an airtight container with a layer of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface before refrigerating.

- Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. You can add salt, pepper, lime juice, or cilantro to suit your preference.

With just a few fresh ingredients and minimal preparation, you can make a delicious and authentic guacamole that’s sure to impress. Whether you’re serving it with tortilla chips, adding it to tacos, or spreading it on toast, this guacamole will bring a burst of flavor and a touch of Mexican flair to any dish. Enjoy your homemade guacamole!
