Ingredients:
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Start by chopping your ripe mango, fine-tuning your knife skills as you dice onions and mince a garlic clove. Gather these aromatics, setting them aside to blend their sweet and sharp essences for our guacamole base.
Pro Tip: For the mango, slicing parallel cuts and then dicing makes chopping easier.
Step 2: Prepare the Chiles
Taking Serrano chiles, seed and chop them finely to ensure you infuse our guacamole with that perfect kick. This step is where you tailor the heat to your personal taste, making the guacamole uniquely yours.
Pro Tip: Wear gloves to avoid chili burns and keep the seeds if you like extra heat.
Step 3: Mash the Avocados
Slice open the avocados and scoop their creamy flesh into a bowl. Using a fork, mash them until creamy yet chunky, maintaining texture that's crucial for a hearty guacamole. This base sets the stage for our guacamole's rich, velvety consistency.
Pro Tip: Leave some avocado chunks for a more rustic texture.
Step 4: Zest and Juice the Limes
Brighten the guacamole by zesting the limes, reserving the zest for a fragrant finish. Roll the limes under your palm to loosen their juices before halving and squeezing their fresh juice over the avocado, introducing a refreshing tanginess.
Pro Tip: Ensure all pits are removed from the lime juice to avoid surprises.
Step 5: Mix the Guacamole
Gently fold the chopped mango, onion, garlic, and chiles into the avocado mixture, watching as the colors merge into a beautiful palette. With each stir, the flavors meld, creating a harmonious blend. Sprinkle in the reserved lime zest and mix until you reach your desired consistency, tasting and adjusting as you go.
Pro Tip: The key to great guacamole is tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed.
