Notes
- Preparation
- Substitutions
- The following ingredients are acceptable substitutions that will give comparable results.
- Guacamole should be served as soon as you make it. Don't make it in advance. It doesn't keep well. It turns brown very quickly.
- Don't chill the guacamole. It should be served at room temperature.
- The recipe calls for two serrano chiles which make a moderately hot guacamole. Add up to 2 more serrano chiles if you want it hotter. Leaving the seeds and veins in the chiles will make it even hotter.
- You can add lime juice to give it an acidic boost but add sparingly so not to overpower the flavors of the other ingredients.
- You can substitute jalapeños for the serrano peppers.
- You can substitute red onion for white onion.
