Guacamole is the salsa of choice for Superbowl tailgaters, couch potatoes and anybody who loves avacados.  I consider my guacamole to be a salsa, to be used to enhance a meal or in place of salad, but it makes an outstanding dip for any kind of chips, especially when your favorite football team is winning the game.

Guacamole, however, is one of the favorite dips for tailgaters, party-animals or couch potatoes.  If you prefer to use my guacamole as a dip, just mash the avacados finer and dice the remaining ingredients a bit finer.  You can't go wrong with this recipe, as everyone loves it.

Peel avacados and remove the seed.  Place in a mixing bowl and mash, with a potato masher, until chunky. Add the onion, chiles, garlic, cilantro, salt, juice and bacon bits (if used.)  Blend well with a large spoon and chill for at least 30 minutes.
