• 1 Chilli (pref. Serrano)
• 1 Bunch Coriander
• 2 Limes
• 2 Avocados
• To taste Salt Pepper
• 1 Tomato
• 1 White Onion

Method

1. First, cut your avocados in half and remove seed. Then scoop out avocado from the shell and place in a mixing bowl.

2. Then use the back of a fork to mash the avocado into a pulp. It is not necessary to fully pulp the avo as chunky bits are quite tasty in the dip.

3. Finely chop the onion and coriander and add to the avocado pulp, together with the lime, salt and pepper and mash some more.

4. Chili peppers can vary individually in how hot they are so start slowly - finely chop half a chili pepper and add to the guacamole. Then taste it and if it is not hot enough add a little more chili until you reach your desired level of "hotness".

5. A good tip here is to be very careful with the chili, do not what every you do get any near (or around) your eyes by accidentally rubbing them as this will be very uncomfortable and sting like crazy.

6. Now chop your tomatoes into small squares but keep them separate until you are ready to serve the guacamole as this enhances the taste.

7. Finally, it is advisable to seal the serving bowl or container with plastic wrap, directly on the surface of the guacamole, to prevent the avocado reacting with the air and turning brown. Then put it in the fridge to keep cool and serve directly from the fridge.

8. Hope you like it!
