Instructions

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth, or leave a little chunky if preferred.
Add the chopped red onion, garlic, jalapeño, tomato, lime juice, and cilantro.
Stir everything together until well combined.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately or cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to chill.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of cumin or a splash of hot sauce.
To keep guacamole from browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface or cover with a thin layer of lime juice before sealing.

Use ripe but firm avocados for the best texture
