Ingredients

3 ripe avocados

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2 medium tomatoes, diced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 lime, juiced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeño, deseeded and minced (optional for heat)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Begin by cutting the avocados in half and removing the pit. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

Mash the avocados gently with a fork until you reach your desired level of creaminess (smooth or chunky).

Add the finely chopped red onion, diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and jalapeño (if using) to the bowl.

Squeeze in the lime juice, which adds flavor and helps prevent browning.

Fold in the chopped cilantro, and then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Mix all ingredients until combined, but be careful not to over-mix to preserve the avocado's texture.

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lime juice or salt as desired.

Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap directly on the guacamole surface to prevent browning if storing.
