Method

In a bowl, thoroughly combine the avocados, lime juice, onion, garlic, jalapeño, and cilantro until the mixture is like a paste. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomato, gently mixing, and taste the guacamole. If necessary, adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper or more jalapeño until it’s to your liking.
