1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

2. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth with a few small chunks remaining.

3. Stir in lime juice, red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro.

4. Season with salt and black pepper.

5. Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, and salads.

Use ripe but firm avocados for the best texture.

Add the lime juice right away to help prevent browning.

Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
