Here is my sister Lisa's delicious guacamole recipe.
We look forward to this at many family gatherings.
She doesn't measure when she makes it, so everything is to taste.
Here is my two cents...I would start with a pinch of cayenne (it is hot!) And the other spices - start with a good pinch and go from there!
Avocados-One half per person is a good guide for how much to make.
Red onion, diced. more or less to taste
Tomato, 1 large chopped. (More if you are making a big batch)
Cilantro, chopped
Oregano (dried)
Cayenne Pepper
Chili Powder
Fresh ground pepper
Garlic salt
Limes, 1-2
Slice avocados into halves and place in a medium size bowl for mixing.
Mash with a fork slightly, just enough to break up the halves. Squeeze half of one lime onto the avocados. Add chopped red onion and tomatoes and gently mix with a fork. Add the oregano, start conservative and taste, add more if desired. Do this also with the cayenne, chili powder, ground pepper and garlic salt. Mix with a fork once all of the spices have been added. Add chopped cilantro to taste. Squeeze the other half of the lime. Add more if desired. Mix with a fork to desired texture. Less for chunky, more for smooth.
(I know the measurements are vague, but I have never measured when I make it and I always do something different with the spices, depending on the taste.)
