My first Guacamole

And my first purchase of avocado!
The last time I had mexican food was about eight years ago (I think..). Although it was a nice experience , it didn't inspire me to cook it at home (also because I hardly cook those days!). Tortilla chips during movie sessions don't count ;)

The recipe for the dip is from Recipezaar. It was good! However, I'll probably leave out the onion the next time. It's just too overpowering for my taste.

Easy Guacamole

Ingredients
3 ripe avocados (ripe as in really dark in color and super soft when squeezed)
1 small onion, finely diced
1 medium tomato, diced
sour cream *optional
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions
1Take avocados and cut into the avocado until you come to the large seed inside.
2Cut around the circumference of the seed.
3With both hands twist the two halves in opposite directions and pull apart.
4Now if your avocados are ripe enough they will separate easily.
5Now carve out each half with a tablespoon.
6Place avocados into a medium bowl and mash and stir until moderately creamy.
7Some people like the avocados more chunky than others-- either way it tastes great.
8Add diced onion and tomatoes to the avocados.
9Add your preference of salt and pepper and taste to see if salty enough.
10In a separate small bowl put in 2 tablespoons of the dip.
11Add 1 tbsp of sour cream and salt again.
12Taste it.
13And decide if you prefer your guacamole with or without sour cream.
14If you like with sour cream add 4 tablespoons or more to the avocado mixture and salt again.
15If not, do nothing and leave it like it is.
16You can do the same with the Tabasco sauce if you like Tabasco sauce.
17Serve chilled with chips or add a little to your taco salad.
