Guacamole
Recipe courtesy

Ingredients
3 ripe avocados
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from 1 to 2 limes)
1/2 large tomato, stemmed
1/2 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 jalapeno pepper, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon coarse salt, such as kosher salt
Freshly cracked pepper

Directions

Using a sharp knife, cut the avocados in half. Remove
the pits. Scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl and roughly crush with a potato
masher or fork. Stir in the lime juice.
Chop the tomato as finely as possible. Scrape the tomato flesh and juice into the
bowl with the avocados.
Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, salt and pepper and stir to mix.
Press a sheet of plastic wrap on the surface of the guacamole. Let sit for about
1/2 hour at room temperature and then adjust the seasonings; you may want to add
more jalapeno pepper, lime juice, salt or pepper.
Serve at room temperature with tortilla chips for dipping.
