It looks like a ripe avocado has been sufficiently described, but I haven't
seen my favorite guacamole recipe yet, so here it is:

2 ripe avocados
1 tomato chopped coarsely
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
garlic salt
jalepeno salsa to taste
dried red pepper
cumin 
1 tsp lemon juice
2 heaping tablespoons of sour cream
  (added just before serving)

  I kind of just mix it all together and add the hot stuff and spices
  to taste, and I generally like it fairly toasty.  It needs to set
  for awhile ~ an hour or so, for the dried peppers and the cumin 
  to reach their potential.  When I do that, I taste it and add the
  salsa (as needed) LAST.

  Enjoy.
