About

I dollop guacamole on everything from breakfast tacos to fajitas. For a heartier dip-style guacamole, stir in your favorite optional ingredients and serve immediately with tortilla chips. Guacamole can be made up to 2 hours ahead. Place the pit in the center of the guacamole, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface and refrigerate.

Ingredients

3 large Hass avocados
juice from 1 lime
¼ white onion, finely dic

Method

Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop the flesh into a molcajete or a medium bowl. Use the tejolote or a fork to mash the avocados until the texture is half smooth and half chunky.
Pour the lime juice into the mashed avocados and stir until combined. Add the onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and salt and stir until combined. Add any optional stir-ins. Serve immediately or
