Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh into a medium-sized bowl.
Juice the lime over the avocados, ensuring to coat them evenly to prevent browning and to enhance flavor.
Sprinkle in the salt, and use a fork to mash the avocados to your preferred consistency—smooth or chunky.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the mashed avocado.
Dice the tomato, removing the seeds for less moisture, and stir it into the mixture.
Chop the cilantro finely and mix it into the guacamole.
Remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño (if you prefer less heat) and dice it finely before stirring it in.
Add the minced garlic for an extra layer of flavor and mix well.
Taste your guacamole and adjust seasoning by adding more salt or lime juice as desired.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for tacos and other dishes. For best results, consume within the same day.
