-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 large ripe avocado -- (12 to 13 ounces), peeled, pitted, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped green onion -- or sweet onion (such as Maui or Vidalia)
2 tablespoons chopped serrano chiles with seeds
1/4 cup water -- or more to taste
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice -- or more to taste
Coarse kosher salt

Combine avocado, cilantro, green onion, and serrano chiles in processor. Puree until smooth. Add 1/4 cup water and 2 1/2 tablespoons lime juice and process to blend. Add more water by tablespoonfuls as needed and blend until thick but pourable sauce forms.
Transfer to small bowl; season to taste with coarse salt and pepper and more lime juice, if desired. DO AHEAD Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups

This Colombian version of guacamole is smoother than most Mexican guacamoles, and it's used as a sauce for grilled [favorites], not just as a dip for tortilla chips.
