Set the onion aside to tone down its raw flavor.

Press around the avocado to check for ripeness, then cut each avocado in half lengthwise and twist it open.

Use a spoon to remove the pit and scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl.

Add about 1.5 tablespoons of fresh lime juice over the avocado and mash it with a fork to a chunky consistency.

Cut roma or plum tomatoes in half, scoop out the seeds, slice into thin strips, then cut the other way to make small pieces and add to the avocado.

Chop cilantro and add it to the bowl (optional if not a fan).

Use a slotted spoon to add the soaked onions to the guacamole.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, then stir everything together.
