Ingredients:

• 3 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and mashed
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 2 ripe tomatoes, diced
• 1-2 jalapeños, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced (plus extra wedges for serving)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Optional: 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (for added depth of flavor)
• Optional: 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (for a smoky finish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Avocados:
   • Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency—smooth or chunky, depending on your preference.
2. Add the Fresh Ingredients:
   • Add the finely chopped red onion, tomatoes, and jalapeños to the mashed avocado. Stir to combine.
3. Add Garlic, Cilantro, and Lime:
   • Add the minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Stir until well mixed. The lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the guacamole from browning.
4. Season to Taste:
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like a bit more depth of flavor, add a pinch of cumin and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
5. Mix Well and Serve:
   • Stir everything together until the guacamole is fully mixed. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. For best flavor, let it sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Serve with Tortilla Chips:
   • Serve your best-in-class guacamole with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or use it as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats.

Tips for Best-in-Class Guacamole:

• Use Ripe Avocados: Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly when pressed. If they’re too firm, they won’t mash well.
• Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh cilantro, lime, and tomatoes. Avoid using canned ingredients.
• Customize the Spice Level: Adjust the amount of jalapeño or add a pinch of cayenne pepper for more heat if you prefer a spicier guacamole.

This guacamole is smooth, creamy, and packed with fresh flavors, making it perfect for parties, casual meals, or just a snack. Enjoy!
