You can buy pre-made guacamole, but like most dips, it comes in a plastic tub. Luckily, guacamole is really easy to make. The simplest way is to mash avocados with some salt. But I like it with some more add-ins. Here’s how I make it. It takes less than ten minutes and it’s delicious! These are the ingredients you need:

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1/2 cup minced red onion
• 1 minced serrano chile (you can use more than one, but I only used one because my little sister didn’t want the food to be too spicy)
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
• 1/2 cup diced ripe tomato
• 1 tbsp lemon or lime juice (I used lemon juice because I can get free lemons from my backyard tree)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• dash pepper

Mash the avocados. Add everything else. Simple, right?
