Guacamole

This is the treat I make if I want something yummy that is not sweet. I could eat the whole bowl if it is made from good ripe avocados.

2 avocados
1 Tbsp. Cilantro, dried
1 Tbsp. lemon juice (fresh gives best results)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. paprika

Avocados should be soft. If they do not give a little when gently squeezed they are not ripe. Scoop out avocado flesh, mash with a fork. Add the remaining ingredients and let flavors blend.

This does not make a spicy guacamole. Add more chili powder to make it spicier.
