Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados for the best creamy texture.: Ripe avocados yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed. If they feel too firm, let them ripen at room temperature for a day or two.
- Control the heat level.: If you prefer a milder dip, remove the seeds from the chili peppers before chopping them. For extra heat, add the seeds or increase the number of chili peppers.
- Mix ingredients thoroughly.: Use a fork to mash the avocados first, then carefully fold in the other ingredients to evenly distribute the flavors without over-mixing.
- Keep it fresh.: To prevent the dip from browning, add an extra splash of lime juice and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating.
