Steps:
- Mash up avacados in a bowl, make them as smooth or as chunky as you like. (We like it fairly chunky).
- Peel and dice red onion.
- Chop up fresh Cilantro, stems and all.
- Dice jalepeno(s), de-seed if desired *Remember that the seeds give more heat* I leave them in because we love our mexican food spicy!
- Add everything into a large bowl and stir, add in salt and freshly ground black pepper to tase, add the juice of the two limes.
- Stir to combine, taste to see if it is hot, salty or sour enough, adjust to your taste, if you want more heat add the hot sauce -- once it is to your liking cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge untill you are ready to serve.
- This goes well with my salsa recipe, and tastes great with tacos, burrito's, nachos, tortilla chips or even carrot and celery sticks.

THE BEST GUACAMOLE
Simple ingredients in perfect proportion make a this dip a crowd-pleasing favorite for any event. We decided not to use tomato in ours -- it makes the guac watery -- and included both onion and garlic for extra zip. A healthy dose of fresh lime juice balances and brightens the flavors.

Steps:
- Put the diced onion into a small strainer and rinse under cold running water. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with 1 cup cold water. Stir in the vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the avocado. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until creamy with some chunks remaining. Drain the onions well and add to the bowl, along with the jalapeno, garlic, salt and cilantro. Stir to combine.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Or press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the guacamole to prevent discoloration and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados have a creamy texture and rich flavor, making them ideal for guacamole. Look for avocados that are slightly soft to the touch, with no bruises or blemishes.
- Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have a meaty texture and low water content.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and lime juice, add a bright, refreshing flavor to guacamole. Use as much or as little as you like, depending on your taste.
- Don't over-mash the avocados: Guacamole should have a slightly chunky texture. If you over-mash the avocados, it will become too smooth and lose its appeal.
- Serve guacamole immediately: Guacamole is best served fresh. Once it has been made, it will start to brown. If you need to store guacamole for later, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is perfect for parties, picnics, or simply as a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious batch of guacamole that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy appetizer, give this recipe a try!
