I got the idea from another recipe website - it seems to be a popular adaptation.

For our guacamole we use:

2 avocados

I LOVE guacomole. My husband makes a very simple version. Mashed up avocados a little garlic salt or powder and that's it. We have it with pretty much everything. We eat it with chips, enchiladas, tacos, tostadas, etc. I think this is why I love this state so much!!!! Living in New Mexico, we are never at a loss of avocados. I LOVE guacomole.

I eat it with chips, on tacos, burriots, in soup... It's pretty amazing in my book. :) I've even mixed avacados with bannas, cocoa powder, honey and vanilla to make a "pudding". :) Looks good!
