Easy and Authentic Mexican Guacamole / Avocado Dip

Ingredients

• 3 ripe avocados (ripe as in really dark in color and slightly soft when squeezed)

Instructions

1. Take avocados and cut into and around the circumference of the avocado's pit.
2. With both hands twist the two halves in opposite directions and pull apart.
3. Remove the pit with a knife or a spoon.
4. Carve out the flesh of the avocado with a tablespoon.
5. Place avocados into a medium bowl and mash and stir until moderately creamy.

7. Some people like the avocados more chunky than others-- either way it tastes great.
8. Add diced onion and tomatoes to the avocados.
9. Add salt, pepper, tabasco sauce and lime juice and taste to see if seasoned enough to your liking.
10. In a separate small bowl put in 2 tablespoons of the dip.
