We speak to Billy Bautista of the famed La Monita Taqueria (Mahatun Plaza, Phloen Chit Rd., 02-650-9581) and get him to reveal the recipe for this chunky, crunchy and tart guacamole.

Ingredients

• ½ onion, diced
• 2 jalapeno chillies, diced (or substitute Thai prik kee noo)
• a handful of cilantro, chopped

• a pinch of salt
• 2 avocados, peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped
1. Combine the first seven ingredients in a large bowl to make salsa fresca.
