2. In foot processor chop up onions. Add garlic paste, half the olive oil jalapenos salt and cumin and zing it. Then add any leftover lime from the chicken and some of the inner pith of the lime as well as the cilantro. Pulse it and as needed add additional olive oil until it reaches desired consistency. The last step is adding the avocado meat. Once the avocado is in, only give it a few pulses to leave small chunks.
