| How To Cook: |

|
1. Cut the avocados in half. With the tip of a small knife, loosen the seeds and lift them out. Remove any brown tissue like fibers clinging to the flesh.
|
2. Strip off the skin with your fingers starting at the narrow or stem end (the dark-skinned variety does not peel as easily; use a knife to pull the skin away, if necessary).
|
3. Chop the avocados coarsely; then, in a large mixing bowl, mash ,with a fork to a smooth puree. Add the chopped onion, chili, tomato, coriander, salt and a few grindings of black pepper, and mix them together gently but thoroughly.
|
4. Taste for seasoning. To prevent the "guacamole" from darkening as it stands, cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate until ready to use.
|
5. Stir before serving, and serve either at room temperature or chilled as a dip with fried tortillas, as a sauce for tacos or tostadas or as a salad heaped on chilled lettuce.
