Spicy Guacamole

Ingredients:
-2 ripe avocados
-1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
-1 jalepeno, finely diced (optional)
-1 tomato, diced
-2 cloves of garlic, minced
-juice of 2 limes
-1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
-sea salt to taste

Directions:
-If you have a Mortar and Pestle, this is the perfect place to use it! If not, just make in a bowl- no problem. If you are using a M&P, put your finely minced garlic and 1/4 tsp sea salt in the bottom of the bowl and grind it into a paste. If you don't have a M&P, you can accomplish this paste right on your cutting board. Just add your salt on top of the minced garlic, and  drag the back of your chef's knife over the mixture, applying firm pressure until it becomes a paste and there are no more discernable chunks of garlic. When you have accomplished the paste, add it to your bowl.
-Next add in the onion, jalepeno if using (if you want it less spicy, just remove the seeds and ribs of the pepper), tomato, , cilantro and lime juice. Toss to combine.
-Add in the avocado, and mash everything together until you reach your desired consistency. I like my guac extra chunky so I go light on the mashing.
-Taste and adjust for seasoning. Serve with cucumber chips, celery sticks or bell pepper slices (or tortilla chips if you're wild and crazy). Enjoy!
