Ingredients

3 medium ripe Avocados
1/2 small Yellow Onion finely chopped
Fresh Hot Green Chiles (such as 2 Serranos or 1 Jalapeño) to taste, stemmed, seeded and very finely chopped
1 large Tomato cored and finely chopped (When fresh tomatoes are out of season, substitute Sun-Dried Tomatoes)
1 clove Garlic minced
10 sprigs fresh Cilantro stemmed and chopped
1/2 teaspoon Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
Freshly squeezed Juice of 1/2 Lime
Chopped Onion to garnish
Minced Cilantro to garnish
Sliced Radishes to garnish
Crumbled fresh Cheese of choice

Instructions

Starting at the top, with a very sharp knife, cut down into each avocado until you hit the pit. Cut completely around the avocado, top to bottom, touching the pit the entire time.
Pull the two halves of the avocado apart and remove the pit with a spoon.
Use the spoon to scoop the avocado out of the skin. (Some people like to score the avocado with a knife before scooping.) Make sure to gently scrap the skin to get the dark, creamy "good stuff."
Place 2/3 to 3/4 of the softest avocados in a mixing bowl. Using a fork, roughly mash them.
Place the remaining firmest avocados on a cutting board or plate and chop into 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces. Add these to the mashed avocado in the bowl and mix well.
Add onion, chiles, tomato, garlic and cilantro. Using hands or a large wooden spoon, mix to create a coarse, thick mass.
Taste. Add salt, pepper and lime juice to taste, to add zing.
Cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the guacamole. Set aside for several minutes to allow flavors to blend - but serve within 30 minutes, before the avocados start to turn.
Garnish with chopped onion, cilantro and radish slices and cheese, if desired.
