Instructions:
- Cut the avocados in half and remove stone. Scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl. Using a whisk, mash the avocados, and whisk until mostly smooth.
- Core the tomato and make a slit on the top of the tomato in the shape of a cross. Plunge the tomato into a pot of boiling water for about 30 seconds, then into ice water. The skins will peel back easily from the slits at the top. Cut the tomato in fourths, and then chop with a chopper until finely chopped. Drain the juice and add the tomato to the avocado mixture.
- Add the chopped onion, garlic, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, garlic salt, sea salt, pepper and lime juice. Using the whisk, blend the mixture together until smooth and all the chopped vegetables, spices, and juice are mixed in well. Taste, and add any additional spices if desired.
- Place the guacamole in a serving bowl accompanied with tortilla chips or choice of sliced vegetables. Serve immediately, or cover with clear wrap and place in refrigerator to serve later. Serves 6.
