1

Prepare the Avocados

Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Add the lime juice immediately to prevent browning.

Mash the Base

Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired consistency. Some people prefer chunky and some prefer smooth.

3

Add the Mix-ins

Fold in the diced red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Mix gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
