A traditional Mexican recipe with avocado and vegetables - a dip that goes perfectly with corn chips (tortilla chips).
It's very important to know how to choose avocados. The test is simple: take the avocado between your fingers and squeeze gently. If the fruit only shows small indentations from your fingers and you feel the flesh giving way slightly, they're ready to eat; if you feel your fingers sinking easily into the flesh and the fruit has black spots, then it's overripe and I don't recommend buying it; if the fruit is firm, you can buy it but won't eat it immediately - place it in a paper bag with a banana and leave it at room temperature for 2 days to ripen.
Ingredients
2 avocados
1 heaping tablespoon of finely chopped onion

How to prepare guacamole
