My Non White-Man recipe for Authentic Guacamole :-)

equipment needed: Just an authentic Molcajete and pestle

Ingredients:
2 RIPE avacados. They need to be black on the outside
1 plum tomato
2 or 3 cloves of fresh garlic
1 or 2 stalks of fresh green onion with the bulbs and roots
some fresh cilantro
Fresh ground pepper
1/2 of a lime
some olive oil, extra virgin
1 Jalapeno pepper Optional
Some salt Optional

Instructions:
Start by coating the molcajete with some olive oil and then grinding up the the cilantro, garlic, and green onion in the molcajete with the pestle. If you want to give it more 'kick' then add 1 jalapeƱo. Add chopped or diced tomato and grind some more. Add avocados. This video shows how to easily remove the skin and seeds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGd6GfHG77I If you use ripe avocados you won't even need to make any criss cross cuts you just simply scoop out the avocado with a spoon into the molcajete it takes just two seconds to do. Mash the avocado halves in the molcajete with the pestle and stir everything together. Squeeze your half lime into the mix and stir again. Some people like adding salt; I do not so I left it as optional. Add one of the avocado seeds to help reduce browning. The lime juice will also keep the guacamole from browning. Serve with organic chips, bread, pita bread, anything you want for dipping and enjoy the heck out of it I know you will :)

CORRECTION: I'm told by a reliable Hispanic friend of mine that olive oil and green onions aren't a Mexican thing. So as it turns out this is a hybrid guacamole of classical Mediterranean and Mexican. Even BETTER :-)
