Guacamole with hot peppers is a hot Mexican hit that reveals all its colours from the very first spoonful. The freshness of the avocado, mashed with a fork to a creamy texture, makes every bite melt in your mouth. Hot chilli peppers add a spicy accent that emphasises the oiliness of the avocado — the taste begins to vibrate, giving the dish brightness. And lime juice, like a true superhero, saves the avocado from darkening, adding freshness to your snack.


Variations

If you want a milder flavour, use less hot pepper or remove the seeds.

For juiciness, add finely chopped tomatoes.

For a creamy texture, you can add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yoghurt.


Secrets of tenderness and taste

The avocado should be ripe: soft to the touch, but not overripe.

Do not chop the avocado in a blender — mash it with a fork to preserve the right texture.

Serve immediately after preparation for the best taste.


Tips on ingredients

Check the ripeness of the avocado by pressing it lightly — the fruit should be slightly springy.

If you don't have lime, you can substitute lemon.

Fresh cilantro gives an authentic flavour, but you can use parsley instead.

Hot chilli peppers can be replaced with jalapeños or red peppers.


Small culinary nuances

The avocado pit can be left in the finished guacamole until serving — this slows down oxidation.

Use red or Yalta onions, as they are less pungent.

It is better to use finely ground sea salt.

Add garlic sparingly so that it does not overwhelm the taste of the avocado.

Preparation steps

01

Prepare the avocado — Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy with small chunks. ⏱ 3 min. Guideline: The texture should be creamy but not smooth.

02

Adding citrus — Squeeze the juice from the lime or lemon directly onto the avocado. Mix thoroughly. ⏱ 2 min. Guideline: The juice is evenly distributed and the avocado has taken on a lighter shade.

03

Preparing the vegetables and herbs — Finely chop the red onion, hot pepper and cilantro. Press the garlic through a garlic press or chop it finely. ⏱ 5 min. Guideline: All ingredients should be finely diced into roughly equal-sized pieces.

04

Mixing — Add the chopped vegetables, herbs and garlic to the avocado. Season with salt and pepper. Mix gently. ⏱ 3 min. Guideline: The ingredients are evenly distributed, but the texture remains uneven.

05

Final adjustment — Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more salt, lime juice or hot pepper if desired. ⏱ 2 min. Guideline: The balance of acidity, salt and heat is to your liking.
