Habanero Guacamole

Bring on the guacamole extreme!

So you want to experience new heights of heat in your homemade guacamole?  Get ready for this. Habanero guacamole may look like your normal appetizer dip or Mexican side, but underneath all that smooth green is an explosion just waiting to occur in your mouth.

If this is your first time making it, opt for one habanero chili instead of two. It’s super spicy with a single chili; at two, you edge into extreme eats territory. Be sure to let your guests know, too. It’s a lot of spice to take in without warning.
