Slice the avocados in half and carefully remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl, retaining a chunky texture by breaking it into pieces with a fork or spoon rather than mashing it completely.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small chunks and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Peel and finely chop the red onion. Add about half of the chopped onion to the bowl, adjusting the amount to taste depending on how strong you prefer the onion flavor.
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and measure out half a cup. Add the cilantro to the mixture for a fresh, aromatic touch.
Cut the jalapeño pepper in half, remove the seeds for a milder heat, and finely dice it. Mix the jalapeño into the guacamole. If you prefer it spicier, include some of the seeds.
Juice the limes into the bowl to keep the avocado fresh and vibrant and to add a tangy note. Be sure to remove any seeds from the lime juice.
Add salt and ground black pepper to taste, starting with the recommended measurements and adjusting for preference.
If desired, drizzle a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil over the mixture for added richness and smoothness.
Gently fold all the ingredients together to combine without overmixing, preserving the chunky texture of the guacamole.
Taste and make any final adjustments for seasoning. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a topping, or alongside your favorite dishes.
