Preparation
  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Mash the avocado flesh with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency.
  3. Add the lime juice, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño (if using), salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado.
