Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 lime: Use it for juicing.
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 2 tomatoes diced
- 1 jalapeño seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
- Step 1: Slice the avocados and remove the pits. Mash in a mixing bowl.
- Step 2: Add lime juice to keep it fresh and vibrant.

I like to chill it for a bit before serving, but it's delicious at room temperature too!
Notes
Ripe avocados are best for the ideal texture and taste.
If making ahead, cover with plastic wrap touching the guacamole to prevent browning.
Experiment with spice levels by adjusting the jalapeño amount.
Remember, a few drops of red coloring go a long way. 😋
