Creating your impeccable guacamole is easy when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
2. Mash Avocados: Use a fork or potato masher to break up the avocado into your desired consistency—smooth or chunky.
3. Add Lime Juice: Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mashed avocado to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
4. Mix In Vegetables: Add the diced tomato, chopped red onion, minced garlic, and any optional ingredients like cilantro or cumin for additional flavor.
5. Season to Taste: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and adjust according to your taste preferences.
6. Stir it All Together: Gently fold all ingredients until just combined, ensuring the mixture remains slightly chunky.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice or salt as desired.
8. Serve Immediately: For the best flavor and texture, serve guacamole right away.
