	California Guacamole

ingredients:

2 medium avacados (Hass	preferred)
1 bunch	green onions
1 small	tomato
1 California or	Anahiem	chili
3 Jalpeno chilis
2 tbs sour cream
spices (see below)

Be aware of the	difference between Guacamole and Avacado Dip.
Without	the chilis what	you have is Avacado dip	(sort of).
Mash the avacados until	they are smooth	with very few pieces.
Chop the California chili medium to fine (they are the large
mild kind) and the Jalipeno very fine (with seeds removed).
The tomato should be choped medium and the green onion sliced
into very thin rings.  Mix all ingredients and add the spices.
Personally I add cumin,	chili powder, salt and garlic in that
order, but that	is a matter of personal	taste.	Lemon juice
can be added to	keep the guacamole from	turning	brown (it never
lasts long enough at MY	place to turn brown) but be carefull
as it changes the flavor (not always for the better).
