Slice 2 avocados in half lengthwise. Discard the seed. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon and mash with a fork in a medium bowl, keeping some chunky bits. Add 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice immediately to prevent browning while you're prepping other ingredients.
Add chopped ½ cup red onion, 1 Roma tomato, 1 jalapeno, 2 large garlic cloves, and ¼ cup cilantro. Season with 1 ½ teaspoon sea salt and ½ teaspoon ground cumin. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Notes
Storage: Guacamole is best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store it, transfer it to an airtight container. To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before sealing the lid. Refrigerator for up to 2 days. Helpful Tips:
Start with the right avocados. Look for ones that yield slightly when pressed but aren't mushy. If they're too firm, place them in a paper bag with a banana for quicker ripening.
Add lime juice immediately. To slow oxidation and keep your guacamole vibrant, squeeze lime over the avocados immediately. For extra freshness, add a splash on top before storing.
Mash to your liking. To achieve a perfectly chunky guac, mash your avocados lightly with a fork, leaving some larger pieces. But if you prefer a smoother consistency, mash more thoroughly.
Avoid watery guac. No one likes a watery guac and that's usually the result of watery tomatoes. To prevent this, remove the seeds and extra juices before adding them. You can gently squeeze them with your hand over the sink.
