How to Make Alton Brown's Guacamole

  1. Wash and roughly chop 3 ripe avocados. Remove pits.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the avocado flesh with the juice of 2 limes. Gently toss to coat.

  4. Gently fold in 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped Roma tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
  5. Cover the bowl and let the guacamole sit at room temperature for at least 60 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
