The only spicy, chunky guacamole recipe you'll ever need. It uses just six ingredients but has a secret tip to make sure the flavors are evenly dispersed and irresistible!
Remove the stem and deseed one jalapeno. Slice it into the finest dice you can - I typically slice them into four vertical pieces and then dice them further. Set aside in a small bowl.
Chop up about ¼ cup of fresh cilantro using a chiffonade (i.e. roll them tightly together and chop away).
Add both to a mortar and mash them together using a pestle. Or, if you have a food processor, just pulse them 1-2 times until they're evenly mixed in.
Chop up ½ red onion into a fine dice of equal sized pieces. Set aside.
Finally, chop up 3 avocados - split them in half, remove the pit, criss-cross the flesh and scoop out with a spoon into a large mixing bowl.
Add the diced red onions, cilantro-jalapeno mixture, 1 teaspoon of salt, and juice from half a lime. Mix well together using a serving fork, pestle, or the back of a large spoon.
Squeeze the other half of lime on top, add some flaky salt if you'd like, and dig in with a chip!

Notes
To get the perfect chunky consistency, criss-crossing the avocado is a great trick - if you want your guacamole more mashed, just use a masher
You can also increase the red onions or jalapeno to your taste, add red pepper flakes, garlic, fresh tomatoes, and a number of other things to this guacamole - it's super versatile!
