Dice a half of a white onion.

Dice a Roma tomato, cutting it in half and removing the inner part to avoid runniness.

Finely chop cilantro, cutting off the ends and slicing the leaves.

Cut 4 medium-size avocados in half and twist to open them.

Tap the pit with a knife and twist to remove it from the avocado.

Score the avocado flesh with a smaller knife to make it easier to scoop out.

Scoop the avocado flesh into a mixing bowl using a spoon.

Cut a lime in half and squeeze the juice into the mixing bowl with the avocado.

Mash the avocados and lime together, leaving some chunks for texture.

Add about 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the mixture and mix gently.

Add the diced tomato and chopped cilantro to the mixture and mix until combined.

Taste and adjust the amount of onion, tomato, and cilantro according to preference.
