To start, gather the necessary ingredients which include ripe avocados, finely chopped onion, minced jalapeno pepper, cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Avocados are the star of this dish, so it's important to choose ripe ones that give slightly when gently squeezed. Make sure to also pick a ripe lime that will provide a fresh tangy flavor to the guacamole.

Once you have all the ingredients, it's time to prepare the avocados. Cut them in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl using a spoon. Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency.

Some prefer a chunkier guacamole, while others prefer it smooth. Pick your preference and mash accordingly.

Next, add the finely chopped onion, minced jalapeno pepper, and minced garlic to the mashed avocado. The onion adds a sharp flavor, the jalapeno provides a bit of spice, and the garlic enhances the overall taste. Make sure to finely chop the onion and mince the jalapeno and garlic to ensure they're evenly distributed throughout the guacamole.

Now, it's time to add some freshness to the dip. Chop a handful of cilantro leaves and add them to the mixture. Cilantro adds a refreshing and herbaceous taste that pairs perfectly with the richness of the avocado.

Along with the cilantro, squeeze in the juice of one lime. Lime juice not only adds a tangy flavor but also helps keep the avocado from browning.

Lastly, season the guacamole with a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. If you find the guacamole too bland, add more salt or lime juice to enhance the flavors.
