Ingredients:

• 3 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and mashed
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 small red onion, finely diced
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Juice of 1 lime
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1 small tomato, seeded and diced (optional)

Instructions:

1. Mash the Avocados: In a medium mixing bowl, add the peeled and pitted avocados. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired consistency. For a creamier texture, mash them until smooth; for a chunkier guacamole, leave some small avocado pieces.
2. Add the Sour Cream: Stir in the sour cream until well combined. This will give the guacamole its creamy texture.
3. Mix in the Vegetables: Add the finely diced red onion, chopped jalapeño, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro to the avocado mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Season and Flavor: Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture. Add salt, pepper, and cumin (if using) to taste. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
5. Add Optional Ingredients: If using, gently fold in the diced tomato for added texture and flavor.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preferences.
7. Serve: Transfer the creamy guacamole to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, or as a topping for grilled meats.
