Cut open avocados, gently remove the seed and scope them out into a clean bowl. Add some pepper, sprinkle some salt and squeeze in the whole juice from that lime unto the avocado.

Then begin to mash, personally I do not want my guacamoles very smooth, so I would roughly mash with a fork to the consistency that I desire. It is now time to add the other ingredients: green onions, purple/red onions, tomatoes, cilantro or parsley, and a bit more salt (if it needs it). At this time you may also add some fresh habanero peppers or crushed red peppers for extra spiciness.

Taste for flavor and adjust seasoning accordingly. Serve with whatever you desire. If you are having guests, there is no limit to what you can serve with guacamole; try cucumber slices, sesame seed crackers (or any crackers), celery sticks, carrots to mention a few (just like I did). Also, roasted ripe plantains, steamed rice, grilled fish are equally fantastic with guacamole.
