GUACAMOLE
Providing a framework to build on as you wish, this pared-down guacamole lets the avocado shine. If you want more lime, add more lime. Seed the jalapeño, if you prefer its fruity heat without the spice, or leave the seeds in, if you enjoy living life on the edge. Letting the diced onion sit in lime juice for a couple of minutes will help temper its pungent bite before imbuing the dish with its oniony savoriness. Chopped cilantro and diced tomatoes are welcome additions to this Mexican staple, if you'd like. It's your guacamole. Serve with tortilla chips, or as a condiment alongside your meal, and double or triple this recipe for a party.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the onion and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Let that sit as you chop the jalapeño.
- Cut the hard stem end off of the jalapeño and discard, then slice the chile in half lengthwise. If you don't want the spice, use your knife or a spoon to remove the inner seeds and white membrane (this is where most of the chile's heat resides). If you enjoy the heat, then leave all of that in. Chop the jalapeño as finely as you can and add to the bowl with the onion and lime juice. Be sure to wash your hands very well with soap after handling spicy chiles like jalapeños, and whatever you do, do not touch your eyes after handling them.
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and pull the halves apart. You can use your knife to pit the avocados, but a safer way is to hold the avocado half in one hand so that your thumb is touching the skin side where the pit is and your index and middle fingers are touching the flesh side around the pit. Gently press your fingers into each other to pop the pit out; with a ripe avocado, it should come out very easily. Use your hands to squeeze the avocado flesh out into the bowl with the other ingredients, or scoop it out with a spoon.
- Using a fork, gently mash the avocados against the side of the bowl until they are mashed to your desired consistency, then stir them into the other ingredients until well combined. Taste and add more salt if desired.
- Contrary to popular belief, adding avocado pits to guacamole does nothing to prevent oxidation, but if you press a good layer of plastic wrap or parchment paper directly over the guacamole and store it in the refrigerator, it will keep well for up to 2 days.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Using a few Halloween inspired cookie cutters, cut shapes from tortillas. Arrange as many shapes as can fit in a single layer on oiled sheet. Coat tortillas with cooking spray, and season with salt. Bake until slightly darkened and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining tortilla shapes, using a clean, cooled baking sheet.
- Put avocados, lime juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the pepper, jalapeno, and cilantro in a large bowl. Mash with a fork until chunky. Serve with chips.

Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and that yield to gentle pressure when you squeeze them.
- Choose the right salsa: If you're using salsa in your guacamole, choose one that is relatively mild in flavor, so that it doesn't overpower the avocados. A good option is a pico de gallo salsa, which is made with fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice.
- Add some heat: If you like your guacamole with a bit of a kick, add a finely chopped jalapeño pepper or two. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- Don't overmix: Guacamole is best when it's a little chunky, so don't overmix it. Just mash the avocados until they are mostly smooth, but still have a few small lumps.
- Serve immediately: Guacamole is best when it's fresh, so serve it immediately after you make it. You can store it in the refrigerator for a day or two, but it will start to brown after that.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for dipping chips, spreading on sandwiches or tacos, or using as a topping for burgers or grilled chicken. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and healthy ingredients, guacamole is a great addition to any party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or snack, give guacamole a try. You won't be disappointed!
