Everyone has different taste in guacamole, but this recipe is our absolute favorite. The cumin and cilantro are a must, as is the tomato.
1 large ripe avocado
1/2 small onion, minced
1 small garlic clove, minced very fine
1/4 teaspoon of salt, or more to taste
juice from half a lime
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large or 2 small tomatoes, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Mash the salt and garlic together. If you have a molcajete, do it in there; if not, mash it on a plate and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the lime juice and mash it all up some more.
Halve and pit the avocado and scoop it into the bowl or molcajete. Mash it up a bit with a fork, but don't overdo it. Mix in the onion, cumin, and cilantro. Adjust seasoning to taste, then mix in the tomatoes last.
Serve immediately.
