The Best Guacamole Ever...well....at least in my opinion

So I have had this love affair with Rosa Mexicano's guacamole. For a while, I was convinced that they put crack or something in it because we would go on a Tuesday and by Wednesday night I would be talking Billy into going again on Thursday. So here is my take on guacamole from Rosa Mexicano.

Guacamole

3 ripe avocados, diced
1 to 2 tablespoons seeded, chopped jalapenos (depending on how spicy you want it...I leave some seeds in)
3 tablespoons diced tomatoes, seeded (you have to remove the seeds and the slime in the middle. I also dab the insides with a paper towel)
4 tablespoons diced red onion, divided
Salt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional....I don't put it in because I don't like it..LOL)

Place the diced jalapeno, 2 tablespoons of diced red onion, salt and cilantro inside a molecajete. If you do not have one, a wooden bowl will work fine. Using the pestle (use a fork and the back of a wooden spoon if you don't have a pestle), mash until well blended and the ingredients start to form a paste. Add the diced avocados and gently fold into the jalapeno paste. Add the diced tomatoes and the last 2 tablespoons of the red onion and some additional salt. Gently mix again. I like my guacamole chunky so I don't really mash them up...but you can if you prefer smother guacamole. Serve with chips!
