You will need:
2-3 ripe avocados
1/2 large green bell pepper, diced
1/2 yellow onion diced
1 medium tomato diced
1 clove of garlic, minced (or garlic powder if you don't have fresh garlic)
1 jalepeno pepper minced - optional if you want to add some extra heat
juice of 1 lime
salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil
Start off by smashing up your ripe avocados in a bowl. You will need to slice your avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh and drop into a bowl If you have a mortar and pestle, this is a great tool for making guacamole. If not, simply use a fork. The trick here is to avoid using a food processor. If you want to get that fresh, "made-to-order" guac, you need to put in some elbow grease.
Once your avocados are mashed up, add in your onions, green pepper, and hot pepper if you choose. Stir thoroughly make sure everything is evenly distributed. Now here's another tip - if you are making the guacamole a head of time, wait until right before serving to add the tomatoes. If you are serving right away, then you can mix the tomatoes in with everything else.
Lastly, add in the juice of one lime and season well with salt and pepper. Serve with some sturdy chips, because you will want them to hold up against this hearty guacamole.
