I like my avocados a little chunky consistency; some may like it completely and smoothly mashed.

Once your avocado mash is ready, it’s time to add some flavors. In a bowl, mix all your ingredients well – Lime juice, diced onion, tomato, cilantro, salt, pepper, and garlic. Taste it if it is to your taste. If not, adjust the ingredients and add some seasoning if required, like pepper. Transfer it to a serving bowl, and garnish with some finely chopped cilantro, squeeze a bit of lime on top. That’s it. Your delicious Guacamole is ready to enjoy the way you like it.
