5 large ripe avocados
1/4 cup red onion, diced small
1/4 cup tomato, seeds and pulp removed, diced small
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
4 limes, juiced
1 tablespoon cilantro leaves, chopped fine
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cut and pit each avocado and scoop out avocado from the peel.
Using a fork, mash the avocado until it reaches your desired consistency.
Add the red onion, tomato, garlic, lime juice, and cilantro. Mix together and add salt and pepper to taste.
If made ahead of time cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole in order to prevent oxidation, which causes it to turn brown. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
