Method

Guacamole Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado using a fork or potato masher until you reach your desired level of creaminess.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and serrano pepper. Add them to the mashed avocado.

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice

    Squeeze the juice of two limes over the avocado mixture, mixing well to combine all the ingredients. This adds flavor and prevents browning.

Pico de Gallo Preparation

  1. 4

    Chop the Ingredients

    Finely chop the tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Combine them in a separate mixing bowl.

  2. 5

    Season the Pico

    Squeeze the juice of one lime over the pico de gallo mixture and stir to combine. Season with salt to taste.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Guac and Pico

    Spoon the guacamole into a serving bowl and top it with the pico de gallo. Serve immediately with tortilla chips on the side.
