Gabriel's Guacamole

This is the base recipe from Gabriel's in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It is intended only as a jumping-off point: Add more seasonings to your taste. We preferred it with 1/2 teaspoon jalapeño, 4 teaspoons onion, and 4 teaspoons lime juice. Prep Time: 10 minutes.

Yield: Makes 2 cups

Ingredients

• 2  medium Hass avocados, peeled, pitted and diced
• 1/4  teaspoon  minced garlic
• 1/4  teaspoon  finely chopped jalapeño
• 1/4  cup  chopped tomatoes
• 1  teaspoon  finely chopped onion
• Kosher salt
• 2  teaspoons  fresh lime juice
• 2  teaspoons  chopped cilantro

Preparation

Coarsely mash avocados, garlic, and jalapeño with a wooden spoon until the avocados are creamy but still very chunky. Add the tomato, onion, and salt to taste, and stir together. Sprinkle with lime juice and cilantro, then stir and taste once more. Add more garlic, jalapeño, onion, salt, lime juice, or cilantro as desired. Serve with tortilla chips.
