Ingredients
  

3 ripe avocados

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 medium tomato, diced

1 small jalapeño, deseeded and minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
 

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

    Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher to your desired level of creaminess – leave some chunks for texture if you prefer!

      Add the finely chopped red onion, diced tomato, minced jalapeño, and minced garlic to the mashed avocado.

        Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the mixture, which not only adds flavor but also helps prevent browning of the avocados.

          Sprinkle in the ground cumin, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Gently fold in the chopped cilantro until well combined.

              Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning or lime juice as necessary, based on your preferences.
