Instructions: 1. Peel and pit avocado. Mash the flesh until smooth.

2. Add onion, pepper, sour cream and tomato and blend well. Season to taste with salt.

3. Mound Guacamole on shredded lettuce on 6 salad plates and serve with Tortilla Chips and Hot Sauce. Be sure to use very ripe California avocados.

We use a potato masher to blend it all together. A food processor could be used just to blend the avocado, but not the rest of the ingredients. It makes it too smooth. Canned peppers are good because they are consistent.

Guacamole must be made fresh. You cannot store guacamole. Lemon juice bleaches it but does not improve the flavor.
