Guacamole is so fundamentally simple that a slight change to the formula dramatically changes the flavor. We love this blend from chef David Vargas of Vida Cantina in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which gets its zing from fresh lime juice and serrano chilies.

From “La Vida Local,” July/August 2020

Yield:

about 2 cups

Ingredients

6 avocados, peeled and pitted
½ cup diced red onion
¼ cup chopped cilantro
Juice from 3 limes
2 teaspoons chopped serrano chilies
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
¾ teaspoon chopped garlic
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions

Scoop flesh from avocados into a medium bowl. Add remaining ingredients and stir with a fork or mortar and pestle (or molcajete). The guacamole should be chunky, so do not overmix. Serve with tortilla chips.
