- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 small limes, juiced

Instructions
- Prepare Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the avocados to your desired texture, whether chunky or ultra smooth.
- Prepare Vegetables: Slice the tomato in half and scoop out the inner seeds and pulp using a spoon so that mainly the firm outer portion remains.

- Serve: Enjoy the guacamole immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.

- Remove tomato seeds to prevent excess moisture and preserve guacamole texture.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeño according to how spicy you like your guacamole.
- For storing, cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed on the surface to prevent browning and refrigerate.
- Guacamole is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to 1 day refrigerated.
