Lemon has a little sweetness that brings out all the other flavors. Also key is to never skimp on the lemon or the kosher salt. Serrano peppers give it a great kick, much better than jalape\u00f1os. And finally, never stir as you add each ingredient to the bowl or the guacamole will become too watery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is especially beautiful in a dish that shows off the guacamole&#8217;s green, white, and red colors, such as a <em>molcajete<\/em>&#8211;a Mexican mortar and pestle. Serve with tortilla chips as an appetizer or on top of steak,&#8221; Longoria said.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chunky Guacamole With Serrano Peppers<br \/>\nMakes 8 cups<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>6 avocados, roughly chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>4 med tomatoes, chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/2 lg white onion, finely chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>2 tsp kosher salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>1 c chopped cilantro (from 1 bunch)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>1 serrano chile pepper, finely chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Juice from 4 sm lemons (about 1\/2 c)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Put avocados, tomatoes, onion, salt, cilantro, pepper, and lemon juice in large bowl.
