Directions
For the guacamole:
Put unpeeled garlic in a small dry skillet over medium heat, cook, turning often, until soft and blackened in spots, 12 to 15 minutes.
Cool, then slip off the skins, finely chop.
Scoop avocado flesh into a large bowl.
Stir in the garlic, cilantro and lime juice to taste.
Coarsely mash everything together.
Season with salt.
Transfer to a serving bowl and put plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
For setting up the guacamole:
Arrange garnishes into small serving bowls and put the chips in a large basket.
Serve tortilla chips with guacamole with your own choice of the garnishes.
