Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher until you reach your preferred consistency (chunky or smooth).
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the mashed avocado. This adds flavor and prevents browning.
Add the salt, ground cumin, and black pepper to the mashed avocado, stirring well to combine.
Finely dice the red onion and Roma tomato, removing the tomato seeds if preferred. Add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Mince the garlic and finely chop the cilantro leaves. Add both to the mixture.
Carefully dice the jalapeño, removing the seeds for less heat or leaving them in for extra spice. Stir the diced jalapeño into the guacamole.
Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or spices to your preference.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos, burgers, or toast. If not serving immediately, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to minimize browning.
