Chips and Guac!

Italian restaurants serve bred and olive oil. I don't know about the rest of you but my favorite part about going to a Mexican restaurant is the chips and salsa...especially the GUACAMOLE!! I am here to provide a recipe you can make in your own home.

What you need..

2 large ripe avocados from Mexico, peeled and seeded
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped yellow onions
2 teaspoons minced jalapeno or serrano chiles, seeds and membranes removed, if desired
2 kosher or coarse salt
2 tablespoons cored, seeded, and finely chopped plum tomato (1 small tomato)
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed limejuice warm tortilla chips, for serving
 
How you do it..
Mash together 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, 1 teaspoon of the onion, 1 teaspoon of the chile, and ½ teaspoon of salt in the bottom of a molcajete or medium-size bowl. Add the avocados and gently mash with a fork until chunky-smooth. Fold the remaining cilantro, onion, and chile into the mixture. Stir in the tomato and limejuice, adjust the seasonings to taste, and serve with a basket of warm corn tortilla chips.
