1 sm. ripe avocado, peeled & pitted
2 med. tomatoes, chopped in sm. pieces
1/2 sm. red onion, finely chopped
4 tsp. lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 sm. jalapeno pepper, seeded & finely chopped or 1/4 c. salsa

These may be omitted if you do not desire the spicy southwest bite.

Place avocado in large bowl and mash, not too fine, leave a little lumps for texture. Add remaining ingredients. Makes about 2 cups.

Tip: Save avocado pit, if you push it into the center of your guacamole until ready to serve it will keep it from discoloring.
