Note: This recipe is somethis I learned at the Cocina Cosmopolita Culinray School in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. Guacamole is the official appetizer of Mexico and it's important to master it. Guacamole can also be served as a side dish with chicken, fish, beef and even pork. I also learned that you can serve guacamole without the pico de gallo sauce. The jalapeno is for taste. Take out oall the seeds of the jalapeno to minimize the spiciness. Don't forget to wear gloves because your hands will burn. You can also use serrano or habanero chilies for the jalapenos if you want to turn up the heat.
