Cut the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl.
Roll the lime on the countertop with your palm to loosen the juice, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice over the avocados.
Add the salt and mash the avocado gently with a fork until you reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
Dice the Roma tomato, finely chop the red onion, and mince the garlic clove. Add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Finely chop the cilantro and mince the jalapeño pepper (remove the seeds for less heat). Add these to the bowl.
Stir everything together gently to combine, being careful not to overmix.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
