Method
Soak the onion in lime juice for half an hour, and then drain. Carefully mash the avocado in a bowl or molcajete (a traditional lava-stone mortar with pestle). Add the cilantro, onion and chile serrano. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the guacamole in a elegant plate and decorate with the pomegranate seeds, the requesón cheese, and the tortilla triangles.
Note: a chapulin painted in gold can be added to the guacamole simulating the Mexican jewel
