Simple Guacamole

By flavorofvanilla

An easy guacamole to put together and store in the refrigerator a few hours before guests come over.

Ingredients

• 3 medium avocados
• 2 bell peppers (yellow, orange, or red for extra color), sliced
• 1/2 medium white onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 handful cilantro
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and spoon out fruit into a medium bowl. Mash with a potato masher, or a large fork. Add the bell peppers, onion, garlic, lime juice. Stir until it's mixed together well. Add cilantro to taste, then salt and pepper. Mix together and cover with a piece of plastic wrap - press right against the surface of the guacamole to prevent oxidation and discoloration. Place into the refrigerator and let sit for at least 1 hour so the flavors have a chance to meld. Spoon into a serving bowl and serve with crackers.
