Guacamole with Lime

YUMOLA!!
(serve 8)

4 med. Hass avocados, ripe but not mushy
1/2 cup freshly lime juice (from 3-4 limes)
1 med. red onion, minced
1*-2 med. jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced (wear gloves*)
1-2 small garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro, leaves and tender stems, chopped
1&1/2 t. kosher salt, or more, as needed
1 t. freshly ground black pepper, or more, as needed
Tortilla chips, for serving

Slice the avocados in half, lengthwise. Remove the pits. Place the fruit in a large bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher, leaving some avocado chunks. Discard the pit and skins. Add the lime juice, onion, peppers, garlic (to taste), cilantro, and S&P, stirring with a spatula to incorporate. Taste, adding more salt/and or/pepper, to taste. Serve with tortilla chips. Note: you may want to adjust the amount of lime juice used in the recipe to taste. You can start by adding 1/2-3/4 of the lime juice, taste it, and then add the remainder, if desired.
