Serve with corn tortilla chips.

8 servings (makes about 4 cups)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 small white onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
• 2 small serrano chili peppers, stemmed, seeded and chopped
• 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
• 5 medium Hass avocados
• 2 medium ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped (not peeled)

Directions:

1. Combine half of the chopped onion, the chili peppers, half of the cilantro and the salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse for a few minutes until a coarse paste has formed.
2. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl. Cut the avocados in half, discard the pits and scoop the flesh into the bowl. Use a wooden spoon to mash the avocado with the paste. Add the tomato and the remaining chopped onion and cilantro; mix well and adjust seasoning to taste. Serve immediately.
