Directions:
Cut avocados in half. Remove seed. Scoop out avocado from the peel, and put in mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado. Add the onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper and mash some more. Add tomatoes last or even just before serving. Note: For a little more kick add 1-2 minced serrano chilies but make sure to remove the stems AND seeds. I also will add a little olive oil if it is winter time and the avocados are not in season.

Personal Notes:
Linda and I took a Mexican cooking class in the early 70's and of course this was the first thing we learned to make. I think one of the keys is to determine a good avocado. Not too green and not too ripe. A good one is when the avocado "gives" just a little when gently pressed. It is the one thing I know will always be a hit and I have even become famous in Paul's family for my guacamole.
