Instructions

  1. In a medium-size bowl, mix the finely chopped onion, tomato, chiles, garlic and cilantro.
  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.
  3. Twist the avocado halves in opposite directions to loosen the meat from the pits, then scoop out the pits.
  4. Scrape the avocado pulp from the skins and add it to the bowl.
  5. Using your hand, a fork or a spoon, roughly mash the avocado while mixing in the other ingredients, making a coarse, thick mass.
  6. Flavor with salt, then enough lime juice to add a little zing.
