Two ingredient guacamole! Because sometimes our limes are hard and our cilantro is slimy. Peperoncinis to the rescue!
In a perfect world we'd always have juicy limes and fresh cilantro on hand. When those avocados ripen you've got to work quickly with their annoyingly short window before the mushy, brown sadness takes over.
Enter: Peperoncini Peppers
The Easiest Guacamole Ever
Why does this work so well?
The peperoncini brine is a decent replacement for the lime juice and salt.
Plus, if you chop some peppers up, it adds even more flavor and a little heat (kinda like a jalapeño would, but milder)
I'll show you how easy this is.
Ingredients for Easiest Guacamole
- Avocados: ripe, of course
- Jarred peperoncini peppers: I always keep some in the fridge. They last practically forever in there. Perfect for emergencies like this.
How to Make Guac
- Just mash your avocados.
- Pour in peperoncini juice, to taste.
- Add some chopped peppers, too, if you're feeling fancy.
- Mix up and get your chips out.
Yep, that's it!
