Choose ripe avocados with a slight give when pressed.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh.
Mash the avocado with a fork for a chunky texture or use a blender for a smoother consistency.
Add finely chopped onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and minced garlic.
Squeeze in fresh lime juice to add brightness and prevent browning.
Season with salt, and for some heat, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
Mix well and adjust the ingredients to your taste. Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping.
