Guacamole en MolcajetePrep: Cook: Ready in: Serves: 2

provided by KristynPomranz

Ingredients
1 Hass avocado
3 Tbsp chopped onions
1 tsp chopped seeded jalapeño chile
1 1/2 tsp chopped cilantro
2 Tbsp chopped tomato (discard juice & seeds)
Salt
Cooking Instructions
In a bowl using the back of a wooden spoon thoroughly mash the following ingredients into a juicy paste (using salt as a grinder): 1 T chopped onions ½ tsp chopped jalapeños ½ tsp chopped cilantro ½ tsp salt

Holding the avocado in the cup of your hand split the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the seed. Slice the avocado lengthwise in approx. 1/8“ strips; then slice across forming a grid. Scoop the avocado out of the skin with a spoon. Repeat with other half of avocado.

Add the avocado to the paste and thoroughly mix together. We mix the ingredients rather than mash them; this leaves the guacamole chunky and somewhat firm not mushy. Then add the rest of the ingredients and fold them together gently. Add jalapeño chiles and salt to taste.

Serve with fresh corn tortillas and/or chips.
