One of my former pastors gave me this recipe.
1/4 cup finely minced onion
3 ripe Haas avocados
1 1/2 tbsp fresh lime juice (or lemon juice)
1 large Plum or Roma tomato, deseeded and diced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp salt (or more to taste)
diced jalapeno pepper, optional
Add diced onion to a small bowl, cover with warm water then set aside. This 'deflames' the onions, making them less intense.
Cut avocados in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seed. Scoop out the flesh and add to a bowl. Add lime juicer then use a fork to gently mash until creamy but still chunky. Stir in the tomato, cilantro, onions, cayenne, salt and diced peppers, if using.
Taste the guacamole and adjust with additional salt, peppers, or lime juice. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap by pushing the plastic wrap down onto the guacamole and refrigerate.
NOTE: My daughter-in-law, of Mexican heritage, puts one of the avocado seeds in the guacamole to keep it from turning dark.
