Guacamole Recipe with Serrano Peppers

• 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.

Substitutions

The following ingredients are acceptable substitutions that will give comparable results.

• You can substitute jalapeños for the serrano peppers.
• You can substitute red onion for white onion.
