The Classic Guac

You can’t go wrong with a classic! Our list of guacamole recipes would not be complete without this truly classic guac.

Ingredients:

• ½ red onion, very finely chopped
• 1-2 Serrano chilies or other fresh green chilies, finely chopped
• 1-2 tsp salt
• 3 ripe Hass avocados
• Juice of 1-2 limes
• A small handful fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Put a quarter of the onion and half the chili and salt in a pestle and mortar and mash to a rough paste.
2. Cut open the avocados, remove the stones and scoop out the flesh into the pestle (or into a large bowl if your pestle is small). Roughly mash the flesh with a fork, adding half the lime juice as you go.
3. Stir in the rest of the lime juice and chilies, cilantro, red onion and tomato.
4. Season with plenty of black pepper and salt (only if more salt is needed)
5. Serve with tortilla chips.
