- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 jalapeño pepper
- 1 garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
Begin by cutting the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the avocado.

Chop the fresh cilantro and finely dice half of the jalapeño (remove seeds if you prefer less heat), then add these to the bowl.
Mince the garlic clove and add to the mixture along with the ground cumin.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice into the mixture, ensuring no seeds fall into the bowl.
Add salt and ground black pepper for seasoning.
Using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the avocado while combining all the ingredients, until you reach your desired consistency.
