Ingredients
  

3 ripe avocados

1 medium tomato, diced

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño pepper, minced (optional, adjust to taste)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocado to your desired level of creaminess (smooth or chunky).

    Add Aromatics: Mix in the diced tomato, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño (if using), and chopped cilantro. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without further mashing the avocado.

      Season the Mixture: Squeeze in the lime juice to add flavor and prevent browning. Then add garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more lime juice or salt if needed.

        Taste Test: Give your guacamole a final stir and taste to check if it needs more seasoning or lime juice.

          Chill (Optional): If you prefer a cooler guacamole, let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. Just cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent browning.

            Serve: Transfer your beautiful guacamole into a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of additional cilantro or diced tomatoes if desired. Enjoy with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a topping for tacos and burritos!
