1
Prepare the Avocados
Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
2
Mash the Avocados
Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired level of creaminess.
3
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice and mix well to combine. This will add flavor and help prevent browning.
4
Incorporate the Vegetables
Add the finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño to the avocado mixture.
5
Season the Guacamole
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, then mix everything together until evenly combined.
6
Optional Tomato Addition
If desired, fold in the diced tomato gently to avoid breaking it down too much.
7
Serve
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl, garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired, and serve immediately with tortilla chips.
