here's just one way to make it:
GUACAMOLE

3 or 4 large ripe avocados
1 large or 2 medium tomatoes
1 small onion, diced very finely
1 small can chopped green chilies
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
salt to taste

Toast tomato over an open flame til skin begins to blacken and split, turning often OR drop in boiling water for 30 seconds. Peel tomato under running water. Dice very finely (1/8 inch dice). Dice onion to match. Peel and mash avocados with tomato, onion, chilies and lemon juice. Add salt to taste. Put one seed in container with guacamole. Cover tightly until just before serving. A piece of plastic wrap placed directly on the guacamole helps keep it from darkening.

If you don't think it will be enough, add a small container of low fat sour cream and mix thoroughly. Better without.
