1
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by washing all the fresh produce. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Dice the tomato, finely chop the red onion, and cilantro. If using, remove the seeds from the jalapeño pepper and finely chop it.

2
Mash and Combine
Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired consistency (smooth or chunky). Add the diced tomato, chopped red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper to the bowl. Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mixture.
3
Season
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Mix everything together gently to combine all flavors without over-mashing the avocado.

4
Serve Fresh
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a topping for tacos.
