Ingredients:                                                

3 ripe avocados
2 tomatoes (optional)
1/2 red onion (or onion powder, if allergies necessitate)
2 cloves of garlic (I've also used garlic powder)
a handful of cilantro1 lime (or 2 tsp of lemon juice)
salt and pepper

Directions:

1. scoop out avocados
2. dice onion into small pieces and add to guacamole
3. Mix in garlic, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper

Eat that day, or the day after. The longer guacamole is kept, the more color it will lose. If you don't use lemon or lime juice, it will go brown really fast, so eat quickly!
