Ingredients

Fresh hot green chiles to taste

1/2 Medium White Onion finely chopped (about 1/3 cup), plus a little extra for garnish

4 garlic finely chopped

6 tomatoes (9 ounces) as ripe as possible (1 medium round or 2 plum)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro coarsely chopped, plus a little extra for garnish

3 ripe avocados (about 1 1/4 lbs total)

Salt

1 tbsp fresh lime juice (up to 2 tablespoons)

A few slices radish for garnish


Directions

1. Roast the chiles, about 5 to 10 minutes in ungreased skillet over medium heat. When softened mash them into a coarse puree, using a mortar, or finely chop them. Place in large bowl. 2. Scoop the chopped onion into a strainer and rinse under cold water; shake off excess water and add to the bowl with chiles. Chop the tomatoes into small bits-skin, seeds and all. Add to the bowl along with the cilantro. 3. Scoop out avocado flesh and add to bowl. Use either potato masher or back of a large spoon to mash the avocado flesh into a coarse pulp, mixing int the other ingredients as you go. 4. Season with salt, usually a scant teaspoon, then add lime juice and taste again. Continue seasoning until guacamole has enough zip. 5. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour before eating. Sprinkle with chopped onion, cilantro and radish slices.

this is pretty much how I make it as preseerved by my Mexican half. It does not require cumin. You can use dried cayenne or fresh jalapeno but wear gloves. I also make it without tomatoes sometimes
