Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 Red Onion chopped
  • 1/2 bunch Cilantro chopped
  • 3 Tomatoes, diced medium
  • 1-2 Jalapeños, seeded and diced optional
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 3 Avocados, Large and Ripe cut in medium sized chunks
  • 1 Avocado Seed, whole The Seed Keeps the Guacamole Fresh
  • 1 Lime fresh squeezed juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Mix together everything except the Avocados, Lime, Salt, and Pepper.
  • Peel, de-seed, and chop up the avocados into medium sized chunks and add to the mixture. Stir together well. The avocado will naturally begin to get creamy while stirring. Stir it less if you want it to be chunkier.
  • Note, as you add the lime juice, add a little at a time - too much lime juice is not a good thing. Add Lime, salt and pepper. And stir again.
  • Add Seed to mixture - this will help prevent the guacamole from turning brown.

Notes

Avocados when ripe should give a little when gently pressed on.
Got leftovers?  You can freeze leftover guacamole and let it thaw to room temperature to eat in the future. 
As with all of my recipes, feel free to add more of what you love, I like a lot of onion and tomato in mine, but you may want less of those and more avocado. Experiment and have fun.
