Guacamole
Guacamole blends ripe avocados mashed with fresh lime juice, finely diced onion, optional diced tomato, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and diced Serrano or jalapeño peppers to add mild heat. The result is a creamy, slightly chunky dip with vibrant flavor that pairs well with chips or as a side condiment.
