Ingredients
  

  • 4 Avocados ripe
  • 2 Roma tomatoes or any kind,chopped fine
  • 1 small Red Onion chopped fine
  • 4 cloves garlic minced(about 2 tsp)
  • 1 tsp Green Chilies minced(optional)
  • Juice of 1-2 limes
  • Cilantro only is consuming right away, if making for later,add just before serving, otherwise it gets too limp.

Instructions
 

  • Chop Onions and tomatoes
  • Add garlic, green chilies and lemon/lime juice
  • Add salt and mix well with fork, mashing it a little, while mixing
  • Slice open the Avocados in half and scoop out flesh(SAVE THE SEEDS)
  • Add Avocados, salt and mix well, we want it to be a little chunky, not smooth like a dip.
  • Enjoy

For serving later

  • Add the saved seeds to the Guacamole
  • Immediately cover with Cling wrap in such a way that the wrap touches the Guacamole, no gap between the Guacamole and wrap. Imagine it being vacuum packed!(See the pictures)
  • Refrigerate, add chopped cilantro just before serving.

Notes

Four things prevent Guacamole from changing color-Lemon juice, Onions, the seeds of the Guacamole themselves,when placed back in prevent it turning black and of course wrapping it in Cling wrap in such a way that there is no air between Guacamole and wrap.Push the wrap down to touch the Guacamole.
