    Method

    1. Rinse the chopped onion under cold water and drain; this softens its bite.
    2. Halve the avocados, remove the stones and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
    3. Mash roughly with a fork, keeping some chunks.
    4. Stir in the lime juice, onion, jalapeño, tomato, cilantro and salt. Taste and adjust.
    5. Serve right away with tortilla chips or tacos.
    Cook's tip: To store, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to stop it browning.
