Instructions
- Halve avocados, remove the seeds, and scoop flesh into a large bowl. Roughly mash with a fork, leaving some chunky bits. Immediately fold in lime juice, using a spoon or rubber spatula.
- Gently fold in all remaining ingredients by hand, until combined. If serving immediately transfer guacamole to serving bowl and serve with tortilla chips.
- If not serving immediately: transfer guacamole to a clear container with lid. Gently tap down the container, to pack down the guacamole and remove as many air pockets as possible. Add a very thin layer of lime/lemon juice (or water) over the guacamole, and place cling wrap flush over the top to form an airtight seal. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

Notes
- If desired, you can replace the garlic powder with 2 cloves of freshly minced garlic.
- Cumin may be new to you when it comes to guacamole, but it provides a deliciously fragrant flavor; we love it!
- You can use grape tomatoes as well. We like the cherry tomatoes for their sweeter, fuller flavor than large store-bought tomatoes.
- If you want to use sweeter onions, use white onions instead of red ones.
- For a bigger kick, you can include some of the jalapeño seeds.
- Guacamole can stay fresh and green for several days if completely airtight; the key is preventing oxygen from coming into contact with any part of the guacamole.
- See original article for key tips on buying/storing avocados.
