Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe avocados
- 1 whole lime

- 2 tablespoons (chopped) cilantro
- 1 whole (seeded and finely diced) jalapeño
- 1 whole (diced) roma tomato

Instructions
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Juice the lime over the avocado and add the kosher salt. Mash the avocado with a fork to your desired consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
Stir in the finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and seeded, diced jalapeño. Mix gently to combine.
Fold in the diced tomato and minced garlic. Add ground cumin and black pepper to enhance the flavor, stirring just enough to blend evenly.
Taste the guacamole and adjust seasonings if needed (e.g., lime juice, salt, or pepper).
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and optionally garnish with a sprinkle of cilantro or a few thin lime slices.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a topping for tacos and burritos!
