Guacamole

My husband loves guacamole. I hate it. I've tried it; I really I have. I just don't like it.
Interestingly, I apparently make a good Guac (a testament to the love I have for my husband) and have received a number of requests for the recipe.

1 jalapeno chile, top removed then quartered. Remove the seeds and membranes if you like. I don't.
1 medium onion, quartered
2 Roma tomatoes, quartered
1 or 2 cloves of garlic (sent through a garlic press)
4 tbsp dried cilantro
2 tbsp lemon or lime juice
4 ripe avocados
1/2 tsp of salt

You'll need a food processor. Toss in the jalapeno and onion. Pulse until they are finely chopped. Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse until creamy. Add a little more juice if needed. Taste. Adjust as necessary.
