Guacamole

(Courtesy of Tyler Florence)

Ingredients:
6 ripe avocados
3 limes, juiced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 serrano chiles, sliced thinly
1 big handful fresh cilantro, finely chopped (about 1/2 c.)
Extra-virgin olive oil 
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Halve and pit the avocados.  Scoop out the flesh with a tablespoon into a mixing bowl.  Mash the avocados with a fork, leaving them somewhat chunky.  Add the remaining ingredients, and fold everything together to gently mix.  Lay a piece of plastic wrap right on the surface of the guacamole so it doesn't brown and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

Note~  Tyler Florence has 2 versions of this same recipe- the other one called for 4 avocados and 1/2 red onion chopped (instead of the 6 avocados and 1 medium yellow onion chopped).
