Chunky Guacamole

Guacamole lends a cooling element when part of a spicy meal. It can also serve as an appetizer dip with sturdy corn chips. This version adds subtle pops of flavors with bits of jalapeño, tomatillo, onion, and luscious chunks of perfect avocados. To spice it up, add more jalapeño or a dash of chile powder. Make this with avocados that are at their peak of ripeness.
