Authentic Guacamole

I ran across this diamond in the rough on a Spanish newsgroup a while back. People were raving, so I translated it, prepped it and ay dios mio!!

FYI -- This treat rarely makes its way to the refrigerator, but keep in mind that avocado doesn't last much longer than a couple days after it has been prepared. Another note -- if you're sensitive to heat, the jalapeño pepper(s) doesn't add heat as much as it adds flavor, so I'd suggest at least adding 1/2 to 1 pepper.

Ingredients

1 large avocado (or 2 medium)
1 large tomato, chopped (or 2 Roma)
Cilantro, finely chopped, to taste
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1-2 jalepeño peppers, minced (optional)
juice from a small lemon (or 1 teaspoon lemon juice)
salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Peel the avocado and remove the core
2. Crush it with a fork until desired consistency
3. Add the chopped ingredients
4. Add the lemon juice
5. Lastly, add the salt and pepper to taste
