- 1 jalapeño pepper (optional)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
Cut the lime in half and juice it, then add the lime juice to the bowl with the avocados to prevent browning.

Chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the mixture.
Dice the tomato and finely chop the jalapeño pepper (if using), then add them to the bowl.
Add the salt and gently mash the ingredients together using a fork or a potato masher. Adjust the texture to your preferred consistency (chunky or smooth).
