Say "adios" to guacamole in plastic tubs. Here's the real thing. Check back tomorrow for a tasty and colorful quesadilla calling for a layer of guacamole.

1 ripe avocado, peeled and quartered (see Tip)
1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon plain yogurt or sour cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, or to taste
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Process all the ingredients in a food processor (or blender) until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Refrigerate in a covered container for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Advance preparation

The guacamole will keep for up to 2 days in a covered container in the refrigerator.
