Note - Have all other ingredients cut and measured before cutting avocados so they do not discolor.

• Starting at the top, with a very sharp knife, cut down into each avocado until you hit the pit. Cut completely around the avocado, top to bottom, touching the pit the entire time.
• Pull the two halves of the avocado apart and remove the pit with a spoon.
• Use the spoon to scoop the avocado out of the skin. (Some people like to score the avocado with a knife before scooping.) Make sure to gently scrap the skin to get the dark, creamy "good stuff."
• Place 2/3 to 3/4 of the softest avocados in a mixing bowl. Using a fork, roughly mash them.
• Place the remaining firmest avocados on a cutting board or plate and chop into 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces. Add these to the mashed avocado in the bowl and mix well.
• Add red onions, plum tomatoes, Tabasco, lemon juice, granulated garlic, salt, cumin, cayenne pepper and cilantro. Mix gently, but well. Do not overmix.
• Serve immediately, cold.
