EZ Guacamole

  1. 4 hass avocados 
  2. 1 large tomato, chopped 
  3. 1 medium onion, chopped 
  4. 1/4 cup cilantro 
  5. 2 jalapeño chillies with seeds ( make it 1 with seeds for lesser heat, and remove seeds for mild)
  6. Juice from one lemon
  7. Salt and pepper
Chop the flesh of the avocados roughly and mix vigorously with the other chopped ingredients, mashing it all together. Using a fork is the easiest and most effective. You want to do this by hand and not in a blender because you don’t want a smooth puree. It should be in rustic chunks and leave some chunks of avocados for a bite. Squeeze the lemon juice over it and season with salt and pepper.

The guacamole may be served immediately, but it will develop more flavor if it is kept, covered with plastic wrap, for 1 to 2 hours in the refrigerator. Garnish with the additional cilantro leaves just before serving.
 
Serve with warmed tortilla chips.
