How to Make Award Winning Guacamole

  1. Halve 3 ripe avocados and remove the pits.
  2. Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl and coarsely mash with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
  3. Finely chop 1/2 medium red onion, 1 medium tomato (diced), and 1 small serrano chili (wear gloves!).
  4. Add the chopped onion, tomato, and serrano chili to the mashed avocado. Stir in 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
  5. Gently stir to combine, being careful not to overmix. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
