Steps to follow:
1
To prepare a delicious Colombian guacamole you should start with avocados, since they are the basis of this recipe. Make sure they are ripe, but without being chopped or stale, since they could give it a bad taste, this is the key to choosing an avocado at its point.

Once you have the best avocados selected, cut them in half vertically and remove the pit from the center. Next, separate the avocado flesh from the skin with the help of a spoon. Place all the avocado in a bowl or bowl in which you will prepare the Colombian guacamole.
3
With the avocado reserved in the container, start preparing the rest of the ingredients. Start with the tomato, wash and cut into small pieces. If you don’t like its skin, you can remove it before chopping it. Add it to the bowl with the avocado.
4
Peel the red onion into small pieces and as fine as possible, and add it to the mix. Cut the cilantro in the same way and add it.
Both ingredients are not usually liked by everyone because of their strong flavor and texture, so we recommend making the cuts as small and fine as possible, so that the homemade guacamole acquires its taste but is almost imperceptible on the palate.
5
With the avocado, tomato, onion, and cilantro already in the bowl, it’s time to add a dash of olive oil, salt and hot pepper to taste (this can be grated or in sauce).
If you do not like the spicy flavor very much, do not add the chili or chilli, since it will give a much more powerful flavor to the guacamole. Finally, add the juice of half a squeezed lemon, or lime in its absence, to give the final touch to our Colombian guacamole and prevent the avocado from oxidizing.
6
When you have all the ingredients in the container, mash them with the help of a fork. You must be stirring and mixing all the ingredients until they are well integrated. The idea is to get a smooth and creamy texture. Before finishing, taste it to rectify it for salt or spiciness if necessary.
Ideally, you can use a mortar to crush the ingredients if you have one.
