Steps:
- Cut the avocados in 1/2, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh out of their shells into a large bowl. (I use my hands.) Immediately add the lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper and toss well. Using a sharp knife, slice through the avocados in the bowl until they are finely diced. Add the tomatoes. Mix well and taste for salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Cut avocados in half around the pit. Separate the halves. Pop out pit with spoon, then scoop flesh of avocados into a bowl. Squeeze the juice of a lemon over the avocados. Squeeze the juice with the lemon halves facing cut-side up, allowing the juice to spill down over the sides of the lemon into the bowl. This method keeps the seeds in the lemon and out of the guacamole. Add garlic, jalapeno, tomato, onion and salt to the bowl. Mash and mix the ingredients into a chunky dip using a fork. Serve with blue corn tortilla chips.

GUACAMOLE WITH SOUR CREAM
My guacamole is very free-form, but here are the basics: Figure about 1/2 large avocado per person. I don't care whether I'm using Haas or regular avocados - some people do. Pick ones that give to mild pressure but are not mushy. If you can't find any that are ripe, get hard ones and keep them in a paper bag for a couple of days until they ripen.

Steps:
- Cut the avocado in half, scoop out the flesh with a spoon; mash 3/4 of it well and chop the remaining 1/4 coarsely (I do this with the spoon, in the avocado shell, before scooping the last bit out).
- Mix it into the mashed portion.
- Mix all remaining ingredients together.
- Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap, pressing wrap firmly to surface of guacamole (or it will turn color due to oxidation) and refrigerate up to 4 hours before serving.

Tips:
- To make the creamiest guacamole, use ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft to the touch.
- If you don't have ripe avocados, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or banana. The ethylene gas released by these fruits will help the avocados ripen more quickly.
- To prevent the guacamole from turning brown, add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. The acidity in the juice will help to preserve the guacamole's green color.
- If you are making guacamole ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The guacamole will keep for up to 2 days.
- Serve guacamole with tortilla chips, vegetables, or crackers.
Conclusion:
Creamy guacamole with garlic is a delicious and versatile dip or spread. It is perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick snack.
