I didn&#8217;t grow up eating it and only ever had it out in restaurants which was nothing fantastic I promise you. But to me it was creamy green heaven.<\/p>\n<p>It took me a while to figure out how to make a guacamole that I liked and I tried everything.\u00a0 With chunks, without chunks. With tomatoes, with cilantro, and so on and so on. I discovered that what Scott and I really like is just a basic and simple guac that isn&#8217;t fancy but highlights the avocado well.<\/p>\n<p>This version seriously takes maybe five minutes and then you can get busy stuffing your face with goodness.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Andrea&#8217;s Quick and Dirty Guacamole<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 Avocados<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 a Lime<\/li>\n<li>Hot Sauce (I like Cholula, but whatever floats your boat)<\/li>\n<li>Salt<\/li>\n<li>Garlic Powder<\/li>\n<li>Chili Powder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a medium sized bowl, cut the avocados and remove the seeds.
