Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 avocados
kosher salt
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon lime juice, plus more to taste; preferably from fresh limes
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped, plus a little extra for garnish
1/2 serrano pepper, or 1 jalapeño
1/2 plum tomato
1/4 white onion

Steps:

  • Cut around each avocado lengthwise, then twist the two halves apart. Remove the pit and scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocados (preferably with an old-fashioned potato masher) into a coarse purée. Season the purée with salt, about 1 teaspoon. Mince the clove of garlic. Sprinkle the minced garlic with a little salt, and mash with the side of your knife into coarse paste.
  • Fold in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.
  • Mince the green chile and add the desired amount to the bowl. Chop the tomato and add to the bowl. Mince the onion (you should have about a third of a cup) and rinse under cold running water in a small mesh strainer. Shake off the excess water, and mix into the avocado.
  • If you aren't serving the guacamole immediately, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate. For best results, make the guacamole within 2 hours of serving and serve in batches.
