Slice the avocados in half and carefully remove the pit by tapping with a knife and twisting it out.

2

Gently slice the avocado without applying too much pressure on the skin, then scoop the avocado into a bowl.

3

Mash the avocado with a fork, leaving it a little chunky for texture.

4

Add half of the fresh lime juice to the mashed avocado.

5

Toss in the diced tomato, onion, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, and pepper, and give it a gentle stir without over mixing.

6

Taste the guacamole with a tortilla chip and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or lime as needed.

7

Using a molete, mash the onions, jalapenos, and garlic to create a paste for added texture.

8

Add the mashed mixture to the avocado along with the remaining lime juice and cilantro, and mash again to combine.

9

Add the diced tomato, salt, and pepper, and mix one last time without over mixing.
