-6 ripe medium avocados
-1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, loosely packed

Garnishes

-3/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
-3/4 cup sliced pickled jalapeƱos
-1/2 cup crumbled crips-fried bacon
-1 16 ounce bag, large tortilla chips

Procedure:
 -To prepare guacamole: place unpeeled garlic in a small dry skillet over medium heat; cook, turning occasionally, until soft and blackened in spots, 10 to 15 minutes.  Cool, then slip off the skin; finely chop.  Scoop avocado flesh into a large bowl.  Add the garlic, cilantro and lime juice to taste.  Coarsely mash everything together.  Season with salt.  Transfer to a serving bowl and place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.
