1 jalapeño (optional)
1 cup fresh cilantro
2 tbsp. fresh lime juice

Chop the onion, jalepeno, and cilantro.
Step 3

Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl, leaving the avocado as chunky or smooth as you prefer.

Tips & Warnings

Avocados turn brown when exposed to air for more than 2 hours. Cover tightly to store so no air touches the guacamole.
Serve guacamole slightly chilled.
