Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Step 2
Mash the avocado with a fork, ensuring it's smooth yet leaves some small chunks for texture.
Step 3
Dice the tomato, ensuring you discard the seeds to prevent excess moisture, and add it to the bowl with the mashed avocado.
Step 4
Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro and add them to the mixing bowl.
Step 5
Cut the jalapeño in half, remove the seeds and ribs to reduce heat (if desired), then finely chop it. Add to the bowl.
Step 6
Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl. Be careful to remove any seeds.
Step 7
Add the garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.
Step 8
