Make the guacamole
Halve and pit avocados. Scoop flesh into a bowl. Add lime juice and salt immediately — this prevents browning. Smash with a fork to your preferred texture (leave it chunky for the best result). Stir in garlic, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and tomato. Taste and adjust lime juice and salt. For best flavor, let it sit 5 minutes before serving.
