Nicole’s Guacamole

 

(Figures approximate, I never measure stuff when I cook)


4-6 avocadoes

1 ripe tomato, diced

½ small onion, minced

¼ t oregano

Salt & pepper

Mexican hot sauce

¼ t chili powder

¼ t cumin

Fresh squeezed lemon & lime

Gobs of chopped cilantro (I like a lot, you may only like a little)


Put all ingredients except tomato into plastic or glass bowl. Try to minimize contact between anything metal and the avocadoes, as that will oxidize them and make them brown & black. Mash ingredients together to desired consistency with potato masher or wooden spoon. Stir in the tomatoes last. Salt & pepper to taste. I find that we like more salt & lemon juice than what looks "right". The tomatoes & lemon juice add the right acidity, I like the taste of lime juice so we add lime too, but it doesn't get as acidic with just lime as with lemon.
