Steps:
- Cut around each avocado lengthwise, then twist the two halves apart. Remove the pit and scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocados (preferably with an old-fashioned potato masher) into a coarse purée. Season the purée with salt, about 1 teaspoon. Mince the clove of garlic. Sprinkle the minced garlic with a little salt, and mash with the side of your knife into coarse paste.
- Fold in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.
- Mince the green chile and add the desired amount to the bowl. Chop the tomato and add to the bowl. Mince the onion (you should have about a third of a cup) and rinse under cold running water in a small mesh strainer. Shake off the excess water, and mix into the avocado.
- If you aren't serving the guacamole immediately, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate. For best results, make the guacamole within 2 hours of serving and serve in batches.
GUACAMOLE - REAL AUTHENTIC MEXICAN "GUAC"
I am surprised how difficult it is to find a genuine guacamole recipe. No need for mayo or sour cream or all the other additives. This is the original, handed down generations, yet the most simple basic way to make Guacamole. I even make it better than my Mother in Law, which is a hard act to follow. :) Make this recipe and you will never go back. Hope you enjoy this like all my friends and family do.

Steps:
- Slice avocados in half. Discard the seed. Scoop out of shell with a spoon. Place in bowl.
- Add juice of one fresh lime immediately to prevent browning. Use a fork and mash to desired consistency.
- Add chopped onions, tomato, and cilantro. Stir gently to mix ingredients.
- Add juice of second lime and then salt to taste. Stir just slightly, until incorporated.
- Add jalapeño to taste.
- Serve with your favorite tortilla chips for a dip, or use with your favorite Mexican dish.
- a side note: this is to make a chunky, yet creamy guacamole. Some people prefer to use a food processor with all the ingredients to make for a VERY creamy dip.

Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be.
- Choose the right avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft to the touch.
- Prep your avocados properly: Cut the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your guacamole will taste.
- Don't over-mash the avocados: You want your guacamole to be chunky, not mushy.
- Season to taste: Add salt, lime juice, and cilantro to taste.
- Serve immediately: Guacamole is best when served fresh.
