Method
1
Cut avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Coarsely mash the avocado with the back of a fork, leaving some small chunks for texture.
2
Add fresh lemon juice to the mashed avocado immediately and stir gently to combine, which prevents browning and adds brightness to the guacamole.
3
Seed the tomatoes by cutting them in half horizontally and gently squeezing out the seeds and excess liquid, then chop into small, even pieces.
4
Add the chopped tomatoes, diced green chiles with their liquid, minced onion, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro to the avocado mixture.
5
Sprinkle the seasoned salt over the mixture and fold all ingredients together gently with a spatula until just combined, maintaining some chunky texture.
6
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lemon juice, salt, or cilantro to preference.
7
Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips on the side.
