avocados
freshly squeezed lime
sea salt
minced garlic
cumin
roma tomatoes (diced)
freshly diced hot peppers of choice
diced vidalia onion
cilantro (take it or leave it)
sour cream
Spike's seasoning (sometimes I use it, other times I do not)
I'm not listing amounts here as I am the type that makes foods to taste and only use reicpies as a guide not a rule. I peel and mash the avacadoes with a fork into a large glass bowl. Dice all the peppers (usually more than one type to get a full spectrum of heat). Dice vidalia onions , garlic, Romas and cilantro. Mix all these together with the avacadoes, sour cream, salt and then add lime juice. Slowly add in cumin ( just a touch for flavor) and Spike's if you choose to add it. I also leave one or two of the avacado pits in the mix as it seems to slow the "browning" that occurs if you don't eat it all and put it into the refridgerator.
Hope you enjoy it.

you dont want a hard avacado.
they should be soft, but not mushy... especialy for guacamole.
there are a whole lot of guacamole recipes out there, and most of them are at least a little differnt.
heres a basic recipe for "authentic guacamole".
just avacados, chillis, and salt.
I would start with that and add w.e you feel adds to the flavor, if you need ideas look at other recipes
For my taste, a simple one is superior.
All I use is; Avocado, Lots'o Lemon Juice, Salt & Pepper.
