Ingredients

• 4 hass avocados (ab 7 oz. each), preferably organic
• 1 serrano chile, stemmed and minced
• 1 sm clove garlic, minced (optional)
• 2 Tbsp. finely chopped white onion
• 2 Tbsp. finely chopped seeded tomato
• 2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
• 2 - 3 tsp. fresh lime juice, plus 1 lime cut into wedges
• 1/2 tsp. salt, plus more to taste
• 1 bag good-quality tortilla chips

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mash the avocado flesh with a fork until somewhat chunky (not smooth). One at a time, gently stir in the chile, garlic, onion, tomato, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Cover with plastic wrap touching the surface and let sit for about 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop

Season with salt to taste (remember that tortilla chips are salty). Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, garnish with a sprinkle of cilantro and serve with lime wedges and tortilla chips.
