This spicy guacamole recipe is so tasty and only takes 5 ingredients!
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Servings: 2

Equipment

  • 1 molcajete
  • 1 comal

Ingredients

  • 1 avocado large
  • 1/2 lime juiced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 jalapeño see notes above
  • 2 garlic cloves whole, peeled

Instructions

  • Heat a comal over medium heat. Place the whole garlic cloves (peeled) and jalapeños on the comal. Char the vegetables for 5-10 minutes, until there is some charring but be careful not to completely burn the vegetables (the garlic will take less time than the jalapeño). 
  • Remove the stem from the jalapeños. 
  • Place one jalapeño and garlic cloves in a food processor and roughly chop into fine pieces.
  • Cut the avocado in half, scoop the avocado flesh into a large bowl or molcajete. Discard the pit and peel. 
  • Squeeze the juice from ½ lime on top of the avocado. 
  • Add the salt, garlic, and jalapeños into the bowl with the avocado.
  • Use a potato masher, fork, or pestle to mash the avocado and combine the ingredients. Continue until you´ve reached your desired texture (creamy or chunky).
