Halve the avocados lengthwise, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the avocados to prevent browning and add a zesty flavor.
Mash the avocados with a fork until they reach your desired consistency—smooth or slightly chunky.
Finely mince the garlic and stir it into the mashed avocados.
Dice the red onion into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro finely and stir it into the mix.
If using a jalapeño, deseed and finely dice it before adding it for a bit of heat.
Season the guacamole with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Finely dice the tomato, removing seeds if desired, and fold it gently into the guacamole.
Taste and adjust the lime juice, salt, or pepper if needed, then serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, sandwiches, or salads.
