CHEF JOHN'S CLASSIC GUACAMOLE
There are few things as easy, healthy, and delicious as this ubiquitous dip. However, unless you're grinding your aromatic vegetation in a molcajete, or against a cutting board, you're really not tasting a classic guacamole. The flavors not only become more intense, but actually change in character. This is just what those bland, fatty, but delectable avocados need. That and a thoughtful seasoning of lime juice, and maybe some more salt.

Steps:
- Place minced peppers, 1/4 cup of the chopped cilantro, and the diced onions on a cutting board. Chop them together into very small pieces. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Using the flat side of the knife blade, smear the mixture to work it into a paste, and chop again to achieve as fine a texture as possible.
- Stem, halve, and pit the avocados. Scoop out flesh and place in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, onion and serrano mixture, salt, and fresh lime juice. Mash with a potato masher to desired texture (smooth or chunky), 5 or 6 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate.

Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor than unripe avocados. To check if an avocado is ripe, gently squeeze it. It should give slightly to the touch.
- Choose the right type of avocado: There are many different types of avocados, but the most common are Hass avocados. Hass avocados are known for their creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your guacamole the best flavor. If you can, use fresh lime juice, cilantro, and onions.
- Don't over-mash the avocados: Over-mashing the avocados will make your guacamole too smooth and runny. It's best to leave some small chunks of avocado in the guacamole.
- Add your favorite toppings: There are many different toppings that you can add to guacamole. Some popular toppings include diced tomatoes, chopped onions, and crumbled queso fresco.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's a great appetizer, snack, or side dish. It can also be used as a condiment for tacos, burritos, and other Mexican dishes. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, guacamole is sure to please everyone at your next party or gathering.
