Instructions
- Prep: Finely dice your red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. If using tomatoes, seed them first, then dice.

Notes
Serving Suggestions: This guac is perfect with tortilla chips, on tacos or burritos, or as a side for grilled meat.
Tips & Tricks: The key to a great guac is ripe avocados. They should give a little when you press on them. For less heat, remove the seeds and white membrane from the jalapeño.
Storage: Guacamole is best fresh. If you have leftovers, put it in an airtight container and press a layer of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guac. This keeps the air out and helps prevent browning. Store in the fridge for up to one day.
