Guacamole

By minicoopercraig

This classic dip is simply made from rip avocados, onion, chiles, tomatoes and cilantro. To reduce the hotness of the dish, seed the chile peppers before chopping. Accompany the guacamole with tortilla chips or raw vegetables for dipping.

• 2 large ripe avocados
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
• 1 large tomato finely chopped
