Juice of half a lime

Add the jalapeno, 1 teaspoon cilantro to the molcajete. Using the mortar, grind the ingredients down to form a bright green wet paste

Place avocado in the mocajete & squeeze a half lime over. Using a gentle rocking motion, start to smash to form a chunky guacamole
Juice of half a lime
Add the caramelized onions to the avacado mixture and gently stir in.
Season with salt at this point, and taste. Adjust by adding more cilantro, or salt
Salt to season
Sprinkle tomatoes on top. Add additional sliced or minced fresh jalapeno on top for extra heat
10 cherry tomatoes
Serve immediately. Any leftovers, seal immediately in a plastic bag, removing all the air, so that guacamole stays bright green
