Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 haas avocado*
3 Tbsp chopped onion
1 tsp chopped, seeded jalapeno chile
1 1/2 tsp chopped cilantro
2 Tbsp chopped tomato (discard juice and seeds)**
salt

Steps:

  • 1. Combine 1 tablespoon of the chopped onions, ½ teaspoon of the chopped jalapeno and ½ teaspoon of the cilantro with ½ teaspoon of salt in the molcajete (a lava stone bowl used for grinding and mixing).
  • 2. With the back of a wooden spoon (the salt and the stone help in grinding), mash these ingredients into a paste. This releases the juices within. Split the avocado in half, then remove the seed. Slice the avocado lengthwise in about 1/8-1/4 inch strips, and then across, forming a grid.
  • 3. Scoop the avocado out of the skin with a spoon (never mash or scrape it).
  • 4. Add the avocado to the paste in the molcajete and fold to combine thoroughly. Add the other ingredients, folding gently, taking care not to mash the guacamole.*** Add jalapenos and salt to taste. Serve with corn tortillas and chips.
  • 5. * Only Haas avocados from California, with a dark green bumpy skin, perfectly ripened for rich flavor. ** The tomatoes must be perfectly ripened. *** Mixing the ingredients rather than mashing them leaves the guacamole chunky and somewhat firm, not mushy.
