Guacamole

   Cut avocados in half, remove seed, peel, cut in chunks and add to a flat bottom bowl or dish.

2. 2

   Add onion, pepper, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, tomato, salt and pepper and mash together with a hand held potato masher or large fork until ingredients are well blended, but still chunky.

   Immediately cover with plastic wrap to prevent the avocados from turning brown from oxidation. The plastic should be covering the surface of the guacamole itself, not just the dish.
