Ingredients:

Guacamole recipe picture 12 avocados
1 not-too-large tomato (or two small ones)
1/2 tbs Sea salt
1/2 Lime
Some cilantro
2 tbs of onion (I used half of a small one)
2 serrano chilis

Step 1:

Step 5:

Step 6:

Step 7:

Step 10:

Step 11:

Enjoy your Guacamole!

Step 13:

Forget about what you've heard. The pit does not prevent the avocado from turning brown. Only keeping it away from air will prevent oxidization, hence the term.
