Guacamole

• 2 ripe avocados
• 0.5 red onion, 1 shallot, or 2–3 scallions, minced
• 8 cloves garlic, minced
• 1–2 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed, minced
• 2 Tbsp. cilantro (leaves and tender stems), finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon or lime juice
• 0.5 tsp. coarse salt
• A dash of freshly ground black pepper

Mash it all together and let it sit, covered, in the fridge for an hour for the flavors to blend.

Adding 2–3 tablespoons of good salsa is really not authentic, but rather tasty.
