Instructions

In the molcajete (or a medium-sized bowl), place the avocado halves and begin to mash.
Add the red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, tomato, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined, but do not overmix.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Store guacamole in an airtight container for up to 3 days. When storing, I store guacamole pressed down, with plastic wrap pressed down directly against the guacamole. This will prevent any air from turning the guacamole brown.
