Guacamole

bowl of guacamole on a cutting board
Serves 12
Ingredients:
  • 2 medium avocados
  • 1½ tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoon white onion, finely chopped and rinsed
  • 1 to 2 serrano chiles, finely chopped
  • 1 small tomato, cut into a ¼-inch dice
  • Salt to taste
Preparation:
  1. Cut the avocado in half lengthwise all the way to the pit and then twist the two halves apart. Remove the pit by scooping it out with a spoon and then, with the same spoon, scoop the flesh into a small mixing bowl.
  2. Mash the avocado with a fork to a coarse puree, and then add the lime juice and garlic.
  3. Stir in the onion, tomato, and chili. Taste and season with salt.
  4. If not serving immediately, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning and refrigerate, preferably not for more than a few hours.
