Step-by-Step Instructions for Guacamole

Finely chop the white onion and jalapeño or serrano chili on a cutting board. Sprinkle with salt and add half of the coriander leaves. Mash together to create a paste for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the paste into a mixing bowl and scoop in the ripe avocados. Mash to your desired consistency for 3-4 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice as needed for a minute.
If using, dice the tomato and fold it into the guacamole with a spatula for about 1 minute.
Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately with corn chips or as a topping for tacos.
