Step 1

In the bowl of a mortar, combine the red onion with the Serrano chile, cilantro and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add 2 teaspoons of lime juice and grind the mixture with a pestle until combined.

Using a spoon, remove the flesh from the avocados and add to the mortar. Mash the avocado slightly and gently blend the guacamole together. Season to taste with salt and additional lime juice, if needed.

Top the guacamole with the queso fresco and tomatillos and serve.
