Instructions:
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
- Squeeze the juice of one lime over the avocado to prevent browning and add a tangy flavor.
- Mash the avocado using a fork or a potato masher until you reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
- Add the finely chopped onion, diced tomato, jalapeño pepper (if using), minced garlic, and chopped cilantro to the mashed avocado.
- Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined.
- Season with salt to taste. Start with a small amount and adjust as needed.
- Taste the guacamole and adjust the lime juice, salt, or other ingredients according to your preference.
- For added heat, you can sprinkle some cayenne pepper or add extra chopped jalapeño.
- Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl, and if desired, garnish with diced red onion and chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or sandwiches. If you don’t have any, try putting it on a slice of bread. Freshly baked, steamy bread. Yum!
