1
Prepare the Avocados
Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

Mash the Avocados
Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocado to your desired level of smoothness.

Chop the Onion
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the mashed avocado.
4
Chop the Cilantro
Rinse the cilantro, remove the stems, and chop the leaves finely before adding them to the bowl.

Add Lime Juice
Pour the lime juice over the avocado mixture to add flavor and prevent browning.
