instructions
    1

    Start by cutting the avocados in half, removing the pit, and scooping out the flesh into a bowl.

    2

    Using a fork, mash the avocado until you reach your desired creaminess - a minute should suffice.

    3

    Next, finely chop the onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Add these to the mashed avocado.

    4

    Squeeze the juice of one lime into the mixture and sprinkle in the salt.

    5

    Stir everything together gently until combined, taking care not to over-mix.

    6

    Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime as desired.

    7

    Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface of the guacamole) to prevent browning.
