Instructions

Mash the Avocados: In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork or a meat masher to mash the avocados until you reach your desired consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
Add Flavorings: Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice, then add diced onion, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together gently to combine all the flavors.
Incorporate Tomato: Carefully fold in the diced tomato to maintain some texture and freshness without mashing it too much.
Serve Immediately: For the best taste and color, serve the guacamole right away with tortilla chips, veggies, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.

Notes

For spicier guacamole, leave seeds in the jalapeño or add additional peppers.
To keep guacamole from browning, cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed against the surface or add extra lime juice.
Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
This recipe can be doubled easily for larger gatherings.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day.
