Step 1

Slice the avocados in half, remove the seeds, scoop out the avocado flesh, and pop it into a bowl.

Step 2

Add a little lime juice now if you are going to eat the guacamole immediately (and you should) – if you’re not, don’t. The liquid of the juice rises to the top if it sits in the fridge, which is not nice at all.

Step 3

Add the onion, tomato and coriander/cilantro, chile, and salt to taste.

Step 4

Mash all ingredients together until everything is combined. Simple as that.

Step 5

If you prefer a smooth consistency continue to mash, but appreciate that you’ll be working at it for a while. I personally like my guacamole as it's made in Mexico, creamy yet chunky, with lumps of avocado pieces. Whatever you do, don’t blend.

Step 6

Scoop your guacamole into a bowl.

Step 7

Garnish with roughly chopped coriander/cilantro or a few springs.

Step 8

Serve with a bowl of plain corn tortilla chips on the side.
