Guacamole

The deceptively simple combination of avocado blended with the spicy fiesty compadres of onion, garlic, jalapenos, and tomatoes makes a sublime guac. When you serve it with a frosty margarita, I think you’ve got 2 of your basic food groups covered!!
Ingredients:
- 4 ripe Haas (only Haas!) avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1/2 c finely chopped white onion (no big chunks!)
- 1/2 c finely chopped tomatoes (Roma is good, you don’t want them to be too juicey or watery)
- 2 jalapeno peppers, minced (no large chunks!)
- 4 tsp fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp coarse seal salt or kosher salt, or 1/2 tsp regular salt
- 1/4 c finely chopped cilantro (optional) (chopped really well)
Procedure:
- Smash the avocados with a fork, leaving small chunks.
- Stir in remaing ingredients.
Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap onto the surface of the guacamole, and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
- Garnish with cilantro, if you like, just before serving, or chopped onions and tomatotoes.
Only serve with the freshest chips!
