“Guacamole” Dip
Easy five-minute spicy avocado dip great served with corn chips, on crackers, toast, or a topping for nachos. Habanero hot sauce adds a noticeable kick.
How to Make
Ingredients:
Start by gathering the following:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 garlic clove
- 6 sprigs of cilantro
- 2 key limes
- 1 tablespoon of habanero chile hot sauce or the hot sauce of your choice.
Finely chop the garlic clove.
Remove the cilantro leaves from the stem and chop.
Squeeze the juice from the limes into a mixing bowl. Remove the flesh from the avocados and add to the bowl. Then, add the remaining ingredients except for the salt.
Mash with a fork until you get the desired consistency. We like it a little chunky. You can also blend it in the blender if you prefer it creamy.

It is not necessary to pick the leaves off the cilantro stems. The stems are just fine. In Mexico, the stems are always chopped with the leaves. On the other hand, parsley leaves normally are pulled from the stalks before chopping.
In my humble opinion, there is way too much mayonnaise.
