# How To Make It:
01 - In a medium bowl, scoop out the avocado flesh and mash with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
02 - Add the minced garlic, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocados. Mix gently to combine.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the diced tomato, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir well.
04 - Spread the guacamole into a serving bowl. Spoon the fresh pico de gallo over the top. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a topping for tacos and burritos.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The texture is everything—creamy avocado meets crunch from the pico in every single bite
- It comes together in twenty minutes flat but tastes like you spent way more time on it
02 -
- Leaving the avocado pit in the bowl does absolutely nothing to prevent browning—press plastic wrap directly onto the surface instead
- Mixing the pico into the guacamole instead of layering it on top will make everything soggy within an hour
03 -
- Toast your cumin seeds in a dry pan for thirty seconds before crushing them into the guacamole for a smoky depth
- Grate a tiny bit of fresh lime zest over the finished dish for an aromatic pop
