Homemade Guacamole

Note: This can be made and served immediately, but the flavors are best after a few hours.

Ingredients:
3 avocadoes
2 ripe tomatoes
1/2 onion
2 tsp lime juice
1-2 tsp hot sauce (adjust to desired spiciness)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (about 1/4 cup)

Directions:
1. Finely dice onions and put into a bowl.
2. Finely chop tomatoes and layer on top of the onions.
3. Sprinkle lime juice, hot sauce, cumin, and salt on top of the tomatoes.
4. Let sit for 10 minutes so the acid from the tomato and lime will break down the onion.
5. Add avocado, and mix with a fork or potato masher.
6. Serve immediately, or store for up to 2 days in an airtight container. The avocado will
oxidize, so if you see a dark layer on the top when you open it, just mix it in or scoop it
off and discard.
