Ingredients:

• 3 ripe avocados
• 1 small red onion, finely diced
• 1-2 jalapeño peppers, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
• 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions:

2. Mash the avocados – Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired consistency—chunky or smooth.
3. Add the ingredients – Stir in the diced red onion, chopped jalapeños, diced tomato, and chopped cilantro.
4. Season – Add lime juice, salt, and cumin (if using). Mix well to combine.

6. Serve immediately – Enjoy with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, or any dish of your choice!

Tips for the Best Guacamole:

• Use ripe avocados – They should be slightly soft but not mushy when gently pressed.
• Keep it fresh – Store leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to minimize browning.
• Customize it – Add diced mango, crumbled feta, or pomegranate seeds for a unique twist!

This classic guacamole is incredibly easy to make and delivers a delicious, creamy, and zesty dip perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!
