     Title: Guacamole
Categories: Vegetables, Fruits, Herbs, Chilies
     Yield: 2 Servings

     3 tb Onion; chopped
   1/2 ts Serrano chile; or more,
          - minced
 1 1/2 ts Cilantro; fine chopped
          Salt
     1 sm Vine-ripened tomato
     1    Ripe Hass avocado
          Tortilla chips; to serve

 In a medium-size bowl, mortar or a Mexican molcajete (lava stone
 mortar), thoroughly mash 1 tb of the onion with the chile, 1/2 ts
 cilantro and 1/2 ts salt to make a paste.

 Cut the tomato in half horizontally, squeeze out the juice and
 seeds and discard. Chop pulp, and add it to the bowl.

 Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, cutting around the pit. Gently
 twist the top half of the avocado off to separate the halves and
 remove the pit. Slice the avocado flesh of both halves lengthwise,
 then crosswise, cutting down to the skin, to form a grid. Scoop the
 avocado into the bowl with a spoon.

 Add the remaining onion and cilantro, and gently fold all the
 ingredients together. Season with more chile and salt if desired.
 Serve at once with tortilla chips.
