Guacamole!

You can add lots of stuff to guacamole, but I like basic guacamole best!

2 or 3 ripe avocados, peeled and lightly mashed with fork
1 small red onion, diced
lime juice (2 or 3 TBLS) preferably fresh, but bottled is ok
a big pinch of kosher salt

Gently mix avocado & onion.
Squeeze in a good bit of lime juice.
Sprinkle in kosher salt.
Mix gently.
Here you have to keep tasting until you like it.
I've also spiced it up with diced jalapeno (seeded & deveined) and some cilantro.
Some people also add sour cream or diced tomatoes or salsa.
My favorite is just basic guacamole!
Make it an hour ahead of time.
Store in refrigerator for flavors to mix.
Be sure to wrap tightly with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the guacamole.
That will prevent it from changing color.
Serve with chips, burritos, fajitas, tacos, enchiladas on burgers or sandwiches!
