Chunky Guacamole

This recipe was originally submitted by Mean Chef (IHHDRO). I adopted it after he left the site. The text from my original review stated, "Excellent guacamole! I didn't have any serrano peppers on hand and subbed a some finely diced jalapenos. The flavor of this was so fresh and wonderful. I love avocados and this was guac at its best." I go through phases of craving guacamole and have tried other recipes, but always come back to this one.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Yields: 3 cups

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 medium  white onion, very finely chopped
• 2 -3  serrano peppers, stemmed, seeded and very finely chopped
• 1  large tomatoes, cored and very finely chopped
• 1  garlic clove, peeled and very finely chopped
• 10  sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped

• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 lime, juice of

Directions

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.
