You can add ingredients from there, to your preference, experimenting, making it your own, though it is hard to beat the classic guacamole. Or maybe you can! Much depends on your mood. If you’re in the mood for a little heat with your guacamole, then it is time to bring in the awesome habanero pepper. People aren’t so afraid of them so the local markets are carrying them more and more. Rightly so! Habanero peppers deserve no fear, but beware. They do deserve our respect when it comes to heat. If the heat is too intense for you, just remove the innards of the habanero peppers before incorporating them into the dish. Most of the heat is in the inner membrane, so that will tamp things down a bit for you. You’ll still get that fruity flavor that makes a habanero a habanero. Learn more about the habanero pepper here. It is also a KEY ingredient in my Late Night Nachos, which gained QUITE the popularity around here. Patty keeps telling me that I need to get that recipe posted, and I hope to do that soon.
Spicy Habanero Guacamole Recipe Steps
First, gather up your ingredients, including:
2 large avocado peeled and pitted Juice from 1 lime 3-4 tablespoons chopped cilantro or more to taste 1-2 habanero peppers chopped (and seeded, if desired, to reduce the heat) Salt to taste
To make the spicy guacamole, Add all ingredients, but only about half of the lime juice, to a mixing bowl and mix well to the creaminess you desire. Once it is all mashed together and nice and creamy, or chunky, to your preference, give it a taste. Adjust for lime and salt to your personal preference. Some people like a bit of salt and pepper. Black pepper can add to the overall spice value. Serve! That’s it, my friends! Looking for an even SPICIER spicy guacamole recipe? Try hotter peppers, like ghost peppers, 7 Pot peppers, scorpion peppers, or the crazy wildly hot Carolina Reaper. Yes! Choose avocados that have softened up nicely, but not TOO soft that they have started to rot. After that, be sure to adjust the other ingredients to your personal preference. Want more cilantro? Toss some in. Less lime juice? Go for it. Just be careful with the salt. You can always add more in, but you can’t take it out once it’s been added. Also, you don’t have to serve it with chips. While that is certainly great, I also like to spoon perfect guacamole onto tacos and burritos, taco bowls, or over burgers and other sandwiches. It’s so delicious! Such a great guac recipe.
