3 ripe avocados, halved, seeded, and peeled

1 lime, juiced

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

1/2 medium onion, finely diced

2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced

1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

1 clove garlic, minced

Mash the Avocados:

In a medium bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados. The consistency should be slightly chunky.

Add Flavorings:

To the mashed avocados, add the lime juice, salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

Mix in the Aromatics:

Stir in the onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and minced garlic. Mix until just combined.

Adjust Seasonings:

Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or cayenne pepper if needed.

Serve:

Serve immediately, or place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate until ready to serve. This helps prevent oxidation and browning.
