The word guacamole comes from two Aztec word "Aguacate" meaning avocado and "Mole" meaning mixture. Guacamole is always good when is fresh, if is winter you may not find freshingredients, so you work with what you have, for this recipe you will need the follow ingredients if you have more people just double the amount, if you going to store left over, make sure that you spread a thin layer of lemon or lime juice on top to prevent discoloration:

What to do:

Chop the onion, tomatoes in fine pieces.

Cut the avocados in half and remove the stones.
Use a spoon to hollow out the green flesh part of the aguacate.
Chopped the avocados into small to medium chunks and put into a bowl.

Place the tomatoes, tomatoes, lemon juice, chili pepper, cayenne pepper, salsa picante, salt, black pepper and olive oil on top.

Then mix everything very nicely, making sure that all the flavors come together. I always wait cover for 5 minutes before serving.
