Ingredients

1/2 small yellow or1/4 red onion, minced

2 cloves garlic

2 teaspoons kosher salt

3 ripe Hass avocados

2 to 4 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)

1 ripe plum tomato, cored and diced

1/2 to 1 jalapeno (with seeds), minced

Directions

  1. Soak the onion in cold water for 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  2. On a clean work surface, mash the garlic and salt with a flattened cook's knife to a paste. Transfer the paste to the bowl with the onion.
  3. Using a knife cut the avocados in half, rotating around the seeds. Remove the seeds and discard. Using the knife, carefully make several slashes in the avocado flesh. Using a spoon, scoop the avocado flesh into the bowl with the onion and garlic. Repeat with the remaining avocados.
  4. Add the coriander, tomato, and jalapeno to taste to the avocados. Using a rubber spatula or large fork, mix until just combined, keeping the guacamole chunky. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Have used this recipe since 2001 when it first posted at FoodNetwork. I was happy to see that could to find it again for a page reprint. Straight forward, easy to make and tastes just like our local Mom & Pop Mexican restaurant Coco's in Columbus, OH. I added the juice of one lime for some additional zip and to keep the bright green color. You can't go wrong with this recipe. Add chips and a beer for a party.
