Guacamole

Ingredients

• 1 serrano chile – stemmed, finely minced (seeds removed optional)
• 0.25 cups white onion – finely chopped
• 0.75 tsp kosher salt
• 0.25 cups cilantro – finely chopped
• 3 avocado – halved and pitted
• 1.5 tbsp lime juice – freshly squeezed

Instructions

1. Set a molcajete and tejolote (or a medium bowl and fork) on the counter.
2. Add the serrano chile, white onion, and kosher salt to the molcajete; grind into a coarse, juicy paste, 30–60 seconds.
3. Add the cilantro and work it into the paste until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
4. Scoop the avocado flesh into the molcajete and mash to a chunky-smooth consistency, 30–60 seconds.
5. Stir in the lime juice until combined. Serve right away, or press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and rest 5 minutes before serving.
