Guacamole Ingredients
- 2 large avocados (mashed)

- 2 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 3/4 cup diced roma tomatoes
- Juice of 1/2 large lime
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Mash Avocados: In a medium-sized bowl, use a fork to mash the flesh of the avocados until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
- Add Flavorings: Mix in the minced shallot, minced garlic, finely chopped fresh cilantro, and diced roma tomatoes evenly into the mashed avocado.

Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to taste preference.
- For a spicier guacamole, consider adding a small diced jalapeño.
- Serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent browning.
- Fresh lime juice helps keep the guacamole green and adds a bright tang.
