Guacamole

2 ripe avocados, peeled, mashed
1/2 small onion, peeled, finely chopped
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
dash black pepper
2-3 drops tabasco sauce

Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl and chill, covered, for at least 30 minutes to blend flavors. A food processor makes this even easier - just place chunks of avocado and onion in processor bowl, add other ingredients, and process until smooth.

You can add one chopped medium tomato if you like.

Serve with tortilla chips.
