Cut the avocados in half, then half again so you have 4 slices. Remove the pit, and peel the skin off the flesh then place into a bowl.

Mash the avocado with a fork until it's smooth, but still a little chunky.

Add the diced garlic, diced tomatoes, diced onions, lime juice, cilantro, and jalapeños (if using) to the bowl with the mashed avocado.

Mix everything together until well combined.

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro and jalapeño slices if desired.

Guacamole Tips and Variations:

If you like your guacamole a little spicier, add more jalapeños or even some diced serrano peppers.

To make this guacamole even healthier, you can add some diced bell peppers, corn, or black beans.

You can also add a pinch of cumin or chili powder for extra flavor.

To keep your guacamole from turning brown, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole and press down to remove any air bubbles before storing it in the fridge.
