Guacamole

First attempt at making guacamole: pretty much a success. I didn't even have guacamole or avacado until this year, because I always thought I didn't like it? Well, I do. And I apologize for the pictures, I'm using my phone until I find the memory card for my camera. They don't do it justice, it looked beautiful.

2 Ripe Avocados (You want to be able to push the skin in a little - but not too much, or they're overripe)
1/3 cup minced red onion
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon of lime or lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash of pepper
1/2 diced ripe tomato, seeds and pulp removed

Cut avocados in half and remove seed. Scoop out from the skin and put in mixing bowl.
Using a fork, mash the avocado. Add the cilantro, onion, lime or lemon, salt, pepper, tomatoes, and mix in.

I found that I wasn't too keen on the onion, so next time I will probably use a little less. To try to even out the taste, I stirred in some sour cream and it made it better.

Also - depending on how chunky you want it, you can either just mix everything in like that, or put everything but the avocado in the food processor, and then just mix it in. I did it that way, because I wanted a smoother guacamole.
Enjoy!
