Guacamole

Now that you've made Pico De Gallo, you absolutely must make guacamole. I didn't make up the rules...it's just the law! Did you know that before I was pregnant with my second child I hate, hate, hated avocados?? Its true...I tell no lies. I always wanted to like it because it looked really good but I just couldn't stomach it. Then one day in the midst of prego-ness I thought I would try it just one more time because it looked so tasty. And finally I liked it. And I still like it to this day. Such a weird thing! Anyways if your going to make guacamole you have to make the pico because it is one of the ingredients. Also the hot chili peppers are a must! Really its the juice that you want. If your feeling daring then go ahead and throw in some of the peppers too. I keep a jar in my fridge just for this purpose....Enjoy!
4-5 avocados (depending on how much you want to make)
4-6 TB Hot chili pepper juice (I use the Mezzetta brand)
1-2 Hot chili peppers chopped (with seeds and membrane removed...unless your strong and daring)
a pinch of salt
4-5 scoops of your homemade pico (its up to you how much you want)
juice of a 1/2 a lime
-----------------------
Scrape meat out of the avocados. mash with fork or the bottom of a glass to the consistency you desire. ( I like mine a bit chunky) Start adding your pepper juice. Please be advised that the longer it sits the spicier it will be so start out slim. Don't be fooled! Add the chopped chilis....if you can handle the heat. Salt it, juice it and then add your pico. It's as easy as that!
