Chunky Guacamole

Step 1

In a medium-size bowl, mix the finely chopped onion, tomato, chiles, garlic and cilantro.

Step 2

Close to the time you are going to serve, halve the avocados lengthwise by cutting from the stem to flower ends, around the pits.

Step 3

Twist the avocado halves in opposite directions to loosen the meat from the pits, then scoop out the pits.

Step 4

Scrape the avocado pulp from the skins and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Using your hand, a fork or a spoon, roughly mash the avocado while mixing in the other ingredients, making a coarse, thick mass.

Step 6

Flavor with salt, then enough lime juice to add a little zing.
