Final Comments


Don't use a food processor to dice the tomato and onions, because the texture of your guacamole will be much better if not too finely chopped

It's necessary to use serrano chiles, instead of jalapeños. The guacamole should be pepper-hot, so add more serranos as your taste dictates.
