Of course everyone is going to have their own likes and dislikes.

I usually use one soft avocado. If its not soft, place it in a brown paper bag over night and it will become softer. Then:

Half of a lemon or lime (depending on what you have)
2 cloves of garlic minced
1T red onion minced
1T sour cream - this is used to just make it creamier but its negotiable!
1T of jalapenos or other HOT peppers minced
1/2 Roma tomato
2T Cilantro - More or less depending on you. These should be chopped or chiffonade. I like to chiffonade and then cut that in half into smaller pieces.

I love guacamole, and to make guacamole!

My favorite way is to mash some of the avocado(s) and chop some. I use some olive oil, pepper, cilantro, chopped red onion and tomato. To add that extra little touch, I throw in some craisins (dried cranberries).

(I have to give a shout out to the awesome restaurant here in Phoenix, where they will prepare your guacamole table-side, and from where I borrowed the craisin idea from: Barrio Cafe (barriocafe.com)!)

OK, I botched the last answer up by leaving a reply. Duh! I'll try it again :-)

You've gotta watch this Guacamole video. It includes the best guacamole recipe ever, and you'll find yourself singing the song the rest of the day. In fact, it's so catchy, you won't be able to get it out of your head!

This is also an easy recipe:

Ingredients:

5 avocados
½ cup of finely chopped cilantro
A pinch of salt
A blender or bowl
Plastic wrap

First take the 5 avocados, and peel the fruits and take out the stone of the fruit.

Then in a bowl put the avocados (peeled and pitted) and here you can either mash the fruits with a fork until you get a homogenous pulp or you can put the avocados in a blender and blend for 30 seconds or until smooth.

Then add the cilantro and stir the mix a little. At this point let it stand for 25 minutes with a plastic on top of the bowl, and then it is ready to be served.

If I'm in a hurry, (which I usually am) this is my guacamole recipe:

Peel & remove seed from 2 ripe avocados.
Mash avocados with fork
Sprinkle mashed avocado with 2 T lime juice
Add half a jar of your favorite salsa (or bottled chili sauce if you like it mild)
Blend this all together and enjoy!

Great with blue corn tortilla chips!
