Avocados have long been a staple in our household, and after naptime today we’ll up our daily consumption by serving some friends the easiest and best guacamole recipe ever.

This recipe comes from The Border Cookbook (a James Beard Award winner). Simple mash 2 ripe Haas avocados roughly, leaving some small chunks. Stir in 2 tablespoons of minced onion, 1 fresh minced Serrano or Jalapeno pepper, ½ teaspoon of salt, and the juice of ½ a lemon or lime (bottled juice works fine). Makes about 1 ½ cups; serve within 30 minutes of preparation.
