Guacamole Recipe

This recipe makes a wonderful dip and is also great as a topping.

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine onion, garlic, chili powder (or fresh jalapeño pepper), and diced tomato.
With a sharp knife, cut avocados in half, removing the pit. Spoon out the flesh into above mixture. Use a fork to mash the avocado into mixture. Add lime juice, cilantro, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover with plastic wrap, laying the plastic wrap directly on the guacamole to prevent discoloration. Refrigerate until serving time. (This only keeps a couple of hours before discoloring so prepare shortly before serving.)
Garnish with additional cilantro sprigs.
