Guacamole

Makes enough for maybe 4 people, but I've finished it off with a friend when we were pretty hungry.

2 avocados
1/2 cup minced red onions
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice (Note: I was missing lime juice once, and vinegar and salt in its place turned out ok)
1 tsp salt (plus more to taste at end)
1/2 ripe full sized tomato or 1 plum tomato
1/2-1 full jalapeno pepper, depending on desired spiciness. Can be substituted with a weaker pepper as well.
2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed

A red bell pepper can be used in place of, or in addition to the spicy pepper. It adds an interestingly sweet quality.

Mash avocados into a thick, creamy paste. It can be left a little chunky if desired.
Add onion, lime, salt and peppers. Mix thoroughly.

Add chopped tomato right before serving or it will become a little runny. Mix and salt to taste.
