Guacamole: A Mexican Classic
by:
Guacamole (or Guac as we call it sometimes) is a dip made out of avocados and chillies. It is an absolute Mexican classic which is creamy, zingy and quite kicky. However, the last one is up to you. We like it hot but not mind (or bum) numbingly hot.

Cooks' note:
• For a good Guacamole, choose your avocados carefully as they are the main ingredient here. Make sure they are ripe and soft to make mashing easier. As for the mashing part, I like my Guacamole a little rustic, to be honest. That means mine is not that smooth because I deliberately leave lumps.• As for the chilli, you might like to add your fresh chillies gradually. Sometimes you just never know how hot they are. Even if grow your own chillies.
• And lastly, always serve your Guacamole with corn chips. Always. I use Macro Organics corn chips. They are easy to get from Woolworths here. Certain organic and health shops carry other brands, as well. You might like to check out your local health shop or any organic grocery store.
