* 3 avocados
* 2 tablespoons pico de gallo

* 1 chopped jalapeño or 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper or 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
* 1 teaspoon salt

== Directions ==
# Pit the avocados.
# Score avocado without cutting through the skin.
# Scoop out one avocado with a large spoon and place in mixing bowl. Add the lime juice and stir to evenly coat the avocados.
# Stir in the pico de gallo, garlic, oil, jalapeño, salt, red pepper, and black pepper, mashing and tossing the avocado pieces until thoroughly mixed.
# Then scoop out the other avocados and gently mix and toss in the larger pieces. The guacamole is the right consistency when more large pieces than mashed parts remain. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro.
# Place avocado pit back into bowl. The pit keeps the guacamole fresh when at room temperature and in the kitchen!.
