Choose avocados with the stem still attached to prevent the flesh from browning.
Cut three avocados in half with a large knife and remove the pits.
Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl using a spoon.
Add the juice of one fresh lime and mash the avocado into a smooth puree using a fork, ideally a larger serving fork.
Dice half a small onion, two Roma tomatoes (remove the seeds), and a jalapeño pepper, then add them to the mashed avocado.
Finely chop two garlic cloves and add them along with 3 to 4 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro and half a teaspoon of salt.
Mix everything thoroughly and taste to adjust the seasoning.
To keep avocado halves fresh, place the cut side down in a container with a little cold water and refrigerate; this method keeps them green for up to 24 hours.
To store leftover guacamole, transfer it to a container, smooth the surface with a spoon for a tight seal, pour a thin layer of water over the top to cover completely, and refrigerate.
Before serving, pour off the water and stir the guacamole gently—it will stay bright green and fresh.
