Guacamole

For Christmas I got something I've had on my list for a long time; a Molcajete. This is a traditional Mexican mortar and pestle made of Mexican volcanic stone, used when making guacamole, salsas and mole sauces.
Today I'm using it (not for the first time...) for Guacamole.

Ingredients;


A handful mixed cherry tomatoes
1-2 fresh chilies (depending on their strenght)
A handful of fresh cilantro
2 ripe avocados
1-2 limes (I use 2 but if you like it less sour only use 1)
Salt and pepper

Divide the cherry tomatoes in 4, chop the chilies and cilantro and add it to the Molcajete.

Use the pestle to squeeze the tomatoes, chilies and cilantro together. Add the avocados and juice of the 2 limes (or 1 if you prefer) and continue to use the pestle until the guacamole has the right consistency.

Some like it rather chunky (I do!) but some like it more smooth. Taste and adjust the flavors by adding salt and pepper and perhaps more lime, chili or cilantro.

I like to serve my Guacamole straight from the Molcajete but if you want you can put it in or on something else. Your Guacamole can be served with fish, chicken, meat, chips or perhaps as I did with a plate of vegetables for dipping.

Bon Apetito!!!
