This is our families version of guacamole. I love avocados and they are full of magnesium which my hubby has to get more into him these days. We do not make ours very spicy and sometimes I add cilantro and other times I do not. I use a sweet white onion instead of yellow because my family are not fans of onion. The white onion isn't quite in your face onion flavor. I use quite a bit of lime because we love the lime taste in our salsa and guacamole. First I use a knife to cut the avocado in half and use that same sharp knife to grab the pit out. Then I cut squares into the avocado and just spoon them out into a medium sized bowl. I use a fork to smash the mixture up just a little we like it chunky. I cut a Roma tomato into small size pieces and a half of a sweet white onion into small pieces. I squeeze a whole large lime into the mixture and stir it very gently together. Occasionally I will add cilantro also and garlic minced. This time I didn't as I did not have any on hand. I refrigerate it about an hour with plastic wrap in contact with the guacamole so no air reaches it and risk it turning brown. Serve with warmed tortilla chips.
