Step 1:

Start out by dicing the tomatos. Remove the seeds, as to not make the guacamole into green water.

Step 2:

Seeded vs seedless tomato.

Step 3:

After dicing them and removing the seeds, toss them into the molcajete or a grinder/chopper.

Step 4:

Do the same with the onions and throw 'em in too.

Step 5:

Ditto for the serrano chilis. And as a reminder, make as LITTLE CONTACT with them as possible. You don't want to accidentally get oil in your eye.

Step 6:

Squeeze half of that lime into the molcajete (grinder/blender/etc).

Step 7:

Make sure to throw in the sea salt, as well. And then after that, go ahead and start mashing this stuff up into a paste. You don't really need a PASTE... just... crush it up a bit.

Step 10:

My avocados were really ripe, so I couldn't pop out the seed with a knife. It just... fell out. Whatever. Throw them in.

Step 11:

Chop the cilantro and add it in.

Step 12:

More mashing with the pestle. Don't totally liquidate the stuff; keep it slightly lumpy.

Enjoy your Guacamole!

Step 13:

I needed to save the guacamole for later, so here's the guac in another container with the plastic wrap. Remember, prevent the guacamole from oxidizing by removing the air from the container.

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.
