Ingredients

3 Ripe Avocados
Freshly squeezed Juice of 1 Lime
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon ground Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne
1/2 medium Onion peeled and diced
2 Roma Tomatoes seeded and diced
1 tablespoon chopped Cilantro
1 clove Garlic peeled and minced

Instructions

Starting at the top, with a very sharp knife, cut down into each avocado until you hit the pit. Cut completely around the avocado, top to bottom, touching the pit the entire time.
Pull the two halves of the avocado apart and remove the pit with a spoon.
Use the spoon to scoop the avocado out of the skin. (Some people like to score the avocado with a knife before scooping.) Make sure to gently scrap the skin to get the dark, creamy "good stuff."
Place 2/3 to 3/4 of the softest avocados in a mixing bowl.
Add lime juice. Toss to coat. Drain and reserve the lime juice.
Add salt, cumin, and cayenne to avocado pieces. Using a fork or potato masher, roughly mash them.
Place the remaining firmest avocados on a cutting board or plate and chop into 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces.
Add these pieces along with prepared onion, tomatoes, cilantro, garlic and 1 tablespoon reserved lime juice. Gently mix until well combined.
Taste. Add more salt and lime juice, to taste, if needed.
Cover and set aside on the counter or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop and meld. (For freshest taste and presentation, try always to make your guacamole no more than 1 hour ahead of serving. Any longer and the avocados will start to oxidize and will turn grey.)
