Spicy guacamole FAQ:
Spicy guacamole can last in the fridge for 1-2 days. To minimize browning, store it in an airtight container and place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole.
You can substitute lemon juice with lime juice for a similar tangy flavor. Other options include vinegar, but it may alter the taste.
The spiciness of the guacamole largely depends on the type and amount of red hot chili peppers you use. If you prefer milder guacamole, you can reduce the number of peppers or remove the seeds.
Use a standard baking sheet for toasting the baguette slices. Ensure the slices are arranged in a single layer for even toasting.
This guacamole is already vegan as it contains only plant-based ingredients. Enjoy it as is!
Cooking Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor. They should feel slightly soft to touch but not too mushy.
- To tame the heat of the chili peppers, remove the seeds and membranes before chopping them.
- Mash the avocados to your preferred consistency. Some people prefer a chunkier texture, while others like it smooth.
- Allow the guacamole to sit for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, pressing a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning.
