Any good guacamole comes down to the avocados you select. When you are at the grocery store, you need to pick out avocados that are dark green. They should be slightly firm to the touch. Whenever you are going to make the guacamole, you will cut both avocados in half. You will remove the pits from the avocados with either a spoon or fork. After removing the pit, you will spoon out the avocado meat and place in a medium bowl. Add two tablespoons of lime juice and the salt to the avocados. Mash these three ingredients together. Be sure to taste the mixture to see that it is flavored to your liking.

You will then chop the jalapeno, cilantro, and red onion. These ingredients, you will mix into the mashed avocados. Make sure that everything is mixed well. Your guacamole is ready to serve, though you may want to let it chill in the refrigerator for about ten to fifteen minutes, so that all the ingredients can set and meld together.
