Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 1 lime or lemon juiced
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ onion finely chopped
  • ½ green hot pepper deseeded and finely chopped
  • 2 medium tomatoes deseeded and diced
  • 1 Tbsp fresh coriander cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove crushed

Instructions
 

  • Peel the avocados and place them in a large bowl, cut into large pieces. Set aside one tablespoon of the lime or lemon juice. Drizzle the remaining juice over the avocados and gently toss to coat evenly.
  • Add the salt, cumin and cayenne pepper, and mix by gently mashing the mixture with a fork. The aim is not to mash the avocado completely, but to leave some small pieces for texture.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and mix with a spoon. Drizzle the reserved lime or lemon juice over the surface of the guacamole. Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate until ready to serve.
