Molcajete

Ingredients

2 tbsp finely diced white onion
1-2 tbsp finely diced jalapeno pepper *Note 1
1 clove garlic, minced
½-¾ tsp salt, + more to taste *Note 2
3 ripe avocados
1 lime, juiced
1 tbsp diced cilantro

Instructions

Add the onion, jalapeños, garlic, and salt to the molcajete and use the pestle to grind into a paste.
Add the flesh of the avocados to the molcajete and use the pestle to mash and mix into the onion/garlic paste.
Add the lime juice and cilantro and use a large spoon to fold into the guacamole.
Taste and adjust ingredients to suit your preference. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Note 1 - If you like spicy guacamole, use 2 tbsp. of jalapeno peppers.

Note 2 - Salt level will depend on what you're serving the guacamole with. Some tortilla chips are super salty so you don't need as much salt in the guacamole. I start with 1/2 tsp and go up from there.
