The Only Guacamole Recipe You'Ll Ever Need

subheading: Spencer's Guacamole:

2 or 3 ripe Haas avocados

1 juiced Lime

1 Shallot (which is tiny, bell-shaped onion - recommended) or in a pinch, part of a small onion

1 Jalapeño pepper (remove seeds & chop into fine chunks)

A tablespoon or two of chopped Cilantro (optional but highly recommended; leave out if you have the tastebuds where cilantro tastes like soap to you, obviously)

A couple dashes of Chili powder

A sprinkle or two of Tabasco sauce

1 small Roma (or regular) tomato (either must be red & tasty, not orange & bland), chopped into small chunks (optional, but really good)

Kosher salt to taste

subheading: The procedure is fairly simple, but is important to do right:

Smash the avocados into a chunky cream by hand with a fork (you don't want it blended smooth!)

Then mix in the rest of the ingredients, using the fork to stir in evenly

Add salt until it's at the level you want

Do a taste-test with some tortilla chips & adjust as necessary...more lime juice, more Tabasco, more chili powder. You'll know when you've hit the right combination of flavors because all of a sudden you'll be like "oh man, that's good" & can't stop sampling it, so that's the tipping point you're looking for
