Long live avocados and guacamole!!!

Ingredients:

• 8 large avocados, chopped
• 2 large tomatoes, chopped
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 small serrano chiles, finely chopped
• 1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
• Juice of 3 lemons
• Salt and pepper
• Tortilla chips, for serving

Here are some great rules to follow when looking to make the perfect guacamole:

– Use the ripest avocados you can find. Organic in all your ingredients is great, if you can find these.
– Lemons are for guacamole, limes are for salsa.
– Try serrano peppers instead of jalapeños.
– Skip the garlic.
– Save the mixing until the end.
