Guacamole, kept simple and good

I've found that when it comes to good guacamole, less can be more.

This is all you need:

1 ripe Hass avocado, per person

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Now for the chile. Choose one of the three:

Muy caliente: 1 fresh serrano pepper per person/avocado, minced

Medio caliente: 1/2 fresh jalapeno pepper per person/avocado, minced

No caliente: a wedge of green bell pepper, minced

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mash/mix until you have a consistency sort of like mashed potatoes. Serve immediately. Don't make more than you can eat, and eat it all up while it's fresh. That's one of the secrets to this. You can refrigerate leftovers, but it's best fresh.
