Cooking Tip
White Pepper
The use of white pepper in this recipe is primarily for color. The white pepper becomes translucent, blends with the avocado in the guacamole, whereas black pepper will be visible.
Cooking Tip
Serrano Chilies
For a milder guacamole,instead of using serrano chilies try jalapenos. For a rich smoky hot flavor try using chipotle peppers.
