Choose ripe avocados with dark green skin that yield to gentle pressure.

Slice the avocado in half and twist to separate from the pit.

Scoop the avocado flesh out with a spoon, leaving the skin intact.

Mash the avocado with a fork or a metal whisk to your desired creaminess.

Finely chop 40 grams (1/4 cup) of onion and add to the bowl.

Add a handful of fresh cilantro, including most of the stems, to the bowl.

Chop 60 grams of cherry tomatoes, discarding most of the water, and add to the bowl.

Chop half of a medium red chili pepper and add to the bowl, adjusting quantity to taste.

Roll a lime to soften it, then squeeze out 10 grams of juice and add to the bowl.

Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste and mix well until combined.

Optionally, use a mortar and pestle to combine the chopped ingredients into a paste before adding the avocado and lime juice, salt, and tomatoes.

Taste test both versions of guacamole.
