COOKING TIME

 

None

TIPS

 

  • Use ripe avocados: A perfectly ripe avocado will be slightly soft but not mushy when gently squeezed.
  • Adjust spice level: Increase or decrease red chilli flakes to match your heat preference.
  • Enhance the texture: For a chunkier guacamole, mash the avocado lightly, leaving small chunks intact.
  • Extra flavour boost: Add finely chopped onions, tomatoes or fresh cilantro for additional depth.
  • Pair with different dippers: Serve with cucumber slices, bell pepper strips or baked tortilla chips for variety.

VARIATIONS

 

  • Creamy Spicy Guacamole: Stir in 1 teaspoon of Greek yoghurt or dairy-free sour cream for extra creaminess.
  • Garlic-Lover’s Guacamole: Use 1 fresh minced garlic clove instead of garlic powder for a bold flavour.
  • Avocado Salsa Hybrid: Mix in diced tomatoes, red onions and chopped cilantro for a chunkier, salsa-style guacamole.
  • Smoky Chipotle Guacamole: Swap chilli flakes with chipotle powder or smoked paprika for a deep, smoky heat.
  • Protein-Packed Guacamole: Add ¼ cup of mashed chickpeas for a fibre and protein boost.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

 

  • Best when fresh: Spicy guacamole is best eaten immediately to enjoy the freshest taste.
  • Short-term storage: Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent oxidation.
  • Fridge storage: Keep refrigerated for up to 24 hours. The lime juice will help slow browning.
  • Avoid freezing: Avocado-based dips do not freeze well, as they tend to change texture when thawed.
