Wash the avocados before cutting them. 

Slice the avocados in half lengthwise by cutting down to and around the pit.  Once you have cut all the way around the pit, twist and pull the halves apart.  If the pit sticks in one side, they can be slippery and hard to get a hold of.  We carefully embed the knife in the pit and give a twist to free the pit from the other half. Next cut halves into quarters and peel the skins from the quarters.

Add avocado quarters to a bowl.

Add other ingredients, spread evenly across the avocados.

Using a potato masher, mash the ingredients and stirring with a fork.  Mash to your desired level of chunkiness.  We like it with medium sized chunks of avocado.

This guacamole recipe is good to go right away, but tastes even better the next day.  Just make sure you put it in a small bowl with a lid, and put a layer of plastic wrap or wax paper directly on the surface of the guac and remove any air bubbles, then put on the lid.  Some people swear by keeping the pit in with the guac as well. Refrigerate. If it turns a little dark, it should just be on the surface.  Just stir in the dark surface and serve.  The day in the fridge should meld the flavors and mellow out the strong onion and raw garlic.

Homemade guacamole is a great dip with chips, or as a add on to any Mexican dish. Your family and friends will love this guacamole. Thanks again to Guy for providing this recipe.
