Step 1

Get started by chopping up your tomato. Slice it in half, core it, and then cut into slivers. Remove the seeds, and then dice the flesh into small little cubes

Step 2

Similarly, dice up half of the onion into very small (about half inch sized) cubes. Smash the garlic with your knife to get the skin off, add a pinch of salt onto it, and then dice it very finely. The salt will help to mash it and extract the flavor. Or, use a microplane to get it very very small.

Step 3

Add the tomatoes, garlic, and onion to a mixing bowl. Remove the pits from the avocados and give it a few slices inside, then scoop the flesh out with a spoon into the bowl. Slice the lime in half, and then squeeze out the juice from half of the lime into the bowl. Add in the freshly chopped cilantro, the chile flakes, cumin, salt, and pepper to the bowl

Step 4

Now, it’s time to mix. Use a fork and give it about 5 – 8 strong stirs around. This should start to mash the guacamole if it’s very ripe and might just be enough. Gently use the fork to distribute the ingredients and see if the guacamole is at the desired consistency. If not, give it another 2 – 3 strong stirs, then gently distribute the ingredients again and check. This should be about enough. Taste it and see if it’s at the right flavor. If it needs a bit more tang, add in some more lime. If it is a little bland, add a touch more salt. If it could use a litte more smokiness, add in some more cumin. Your main lever will probably be salt and lime, but be sure to not go too heavy handed. Nothing’s worse than salty guac

Step 5

Each time you add in ingredients, gently fold the seasonings into the mix, but be sure not to mix too hard, or in the process of adjusting the flavors you may overmix the guac
