Cut avocados in half and take out the seed.

Hubby 'wacks' the knife into the avocado seed.

Pick the avocado up, then using the knife, turn the seed and it pops right out. Didn't know that trick, now did you?

I still think it's an awesome hint. Plus, you can get a little aggression out on the avocado seed with your knife. Remember though, safety first!

Scoop the avocado into a bowl and lightly mash. We just use our potato masher. A large fork would do in a pinch. Make sure you don't over mash. You want it a little chunky. Some texture adds to the awesomeness of this guacamole.

Squeeze about two teaspoons of lime into your mashed avocado. The lime adds a little zing to the flavor (or as hubby calls it, brightness). It also helps preserve the avocado and slows down the dreaded browning. Fresh is best but in a pinch, the bottled lime juice works.

Add your salt and pepper.

Gently stir it all together.

Place garlic on cutting board and smash it with the side of a knife. Note: a wider knife is a little safer :)

Peel the garlic then chop so it's fine. The finer it is, the more 'garlic juice' is released. Add to your avocado. Chop your onion. On a personal note, if you chop the onion more on the finer side, those of us who don't like biting into raw onions get the flavor (yum) but not the onion crunch (ewwww)

IF you want some tomatoes in your guacamole, this is when you would add them. Hubby loves tomatoes but not in his guacamole

Add your sour cream. EASY on the sour cream. Remember, the avocados are creamy on their own. Low fat mayo works just fine.

Gently mix and then put in your prettiest small bowl. (my suggestion, not hubby's, ha, ha).

Cover well with plastic wrap. Totally stick the plastic wrap onto the guacamole before putting it in the fridge. Air will make it turn brown!

Let the flavors mingle for at least 2 hours before serving for best flavor!

We love the scoopable tortillas.

Serve, enjoy and know you made this totally from scratch. As much as I like 'cheater recipes', some things are better fresh and from scratch. This sure is one of them.
