This guacamole recipe relies on perfectly ripe avocados, zesty lime, fresh cilantro, spicy chiles, and red onion for unbeatable flavor. It pairs perfectly with tortilla chips or Tex-Mex favorites. The key is ripe avocados that yield slightly to the touch. Speed up ripening by placing firm ones in a paper bag with an apple or banana for 2-3 days.

1/4 large red onion, finely chopped (more if you love onions)

Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl.
